Nebraska Likely to End Letting Each U.S. House District Choose its own Presidential Elector

Nebraska and Maine are the only two states in which each U.S. House district elects its own presidential elector. On April 4, a Nebraska bill to switch the state to the system used in the other 48 states won a procedural victory. The Senate voted 32-15 to cut off any filibuster against the bill. That vote required a two-thirds majority, which was met. It will now be easy to pass the bill, and it probably will pass soon. Nebraska has a unicameral legislature. The bill is LB 10, introduced January 8, 2015 by State Senator Beau McCoy (R-Omaha). Thanks to Tony Roza for this news.

  1. T-O-T-A-L FORCE/PRESSURE by the Donkey/Elephant top robot party HACKS to totally rig the Electoral College as much as possible ASAP —

    — Due to the de facto LAWLESS Prez MONARCHY / EMPEROR created by the robot party hacks in SCOTUS, esp. since 1933 —

    esp. in the Elephant controlled States where Obama won in 2012 Statewide or in any gerrymander USA Rep. district.


    Abolish the super time bomb Electoral College.
    Uniform definition of Elector-Voter in ALL of the USA.
    P.R. and NONPARTISAN App.V.

  2. As far as I know, only once has a Nebraska or Maine congressional district gone for a candidate other than the statewide winner: in 2008, when Obama got one electoral vote.

    What was the rationale for the legislators wanting to change the current system?
