LINCOLN, NE – The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb issues the following statement regarding LB3 and LR24CA, the Winner-Take-All bill and amendment, being voted out of committee this morning:

“Nebraska matters in the presidential elections because of our fair electoral vote system. The Republicans who want to take this away, all because of Trump, are so short-sighted. We have a competitive primary for both parties in 2028 and we should all want candidates asking for our votes. That will only happen if we keep the split electoral vote system. Nebraska is unique. Let’s not be like all the rest of the states. Let the other states follow our lead in true representative democracy. We urge Senators from all parties to vote no on the final version of the bills.”
