Nebraska Bill to Choose All Presidential Electors with Statewide Vote Advances

On April 18, the Nebraska Government, Military & Veterans Affairs Committee passed LB 25. It changes the way Nebraska elects presidential electors. Currently each U.S. House district elects its own elector. The bill would change that so that all the electoral votes go to the winner of the statewide presidential popular vote.

Currently Maine and Nebraska are the only states which split their electoral votes, in which each U.S. House district elects its own elector.

  1. Just downright dumb. If you’re going to change it, make it proportional too the statewide vote. Every x% gets you one electoral vote, effectively a Single-Transferable vote.

  2. Nebraska and Maine have reasonable allocation for presidential electors. The main problem is they need ten times as many U S Reps and those Electors to go with them.
