On April 12, Nebraska LB 10 failed to pass. This is the bill to convert Nebraska to a system used in 48 other states, in which the presidential candidate who carries the state wins all of the state’s presidential electors. The outcome was a surprise, because on April 4, the legislature had voted by more than two-thirds to kill the filibuster against the bill.
On April 4, the current system only had support from 15 State Senators, but on April 12, the current system was supported by 17 State Senators. Two State Senators, both Republicans, switched their votes. Tommy Garrett, from Bellevue, is in his first term; Bob Krist, from Omaha, is in his second term. Thanks to Rick Hasen for this news.
TOTAL pressure to rig the Electoral College math more than ever.
i.e. if a D or R gang controls a State regime and Romney or Obama won in 2012 respectively — esp. using the rigged gerrymander USA Rep districts or even some E.C. P.R. math.

Abolish the super time bomb E.C.
Uniform definition of Elector in ALL of the USA.
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
Rock on!
