Nebraska Republicans are facing pressure from a top ally of former President Donald Trump to alter the state's Electoral College voting system. Currently, Nebraska and Maine are the only states that divide their electoral votes by congressional district, with Nebraska having one competitive vote for Democrats due to its solid Republican stance.
Senator Lindsey Graham recently met with GOP lawmakers in Nebraska to advocate for this change, supported by the state's all-Republican congressional delegation and Governor Jim Pillen. The proposed switch, which was previously discussed but lacked sufficient votes, is now being pushed again as Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris are in a closely contested race.
