This newspaper story describes the intense Republican Party effort in Nebraska to defeat State Senator Laura Ebke for re-election. She joined the Libertarian Party in 2016. The story also reveals that even though Nebraska’s legislature is technically non-partisan (with no party labels on the ballot) in reality the elections are very partisan.
Parties since day 1 = more or less control freak statist laws.

“Since Jan. 1, Ebke hasn’t received a single individual donation from her district. Nine of the 11 such donors don’t live in Nebraska and the other two reside outside her district”
I’d say that wasn’t a good sign, but her opponents aren’t doing a whole lot better. Riskowski looks like he only has 10 donors, including the Governor. It wouldn’t surprise me if the rest were Republican officials or friends and family. Brandt looks like he’s getting donations from more people, but the last names are repeated so often that maybe it’s just 2 dozen families.
Since the sham scheme is that they are *nonpartisans* why would they need ANY donors ???
— junk nonsense — like having 1 of the hacks say
— I am the most nonpartisan candidate ever in the history of the universe !!!
