State Senator Mike McDonnell said in a statement that he would not support altering Nebraska’s current system, which splits its electoral votes by congressional district
A last-minute Republican effort to award Nebraska ’s five Electoral College votes on a winner-take-all basis – a change that would help Donald Trump ’s odds of winning the White House – appeared doomed on Monday, after a key Republican lawmaker said he opposed the proposal despite lobbying from Trump ’s allies.
“I will not change my long-held position and will oppose any attempted changes to our electoral college system before the 2024 election,” McDonnell said in a statement, noting that the election is only 43 days away. If the Electoral College is tied, the U.S. House of Representatives selects the winner, with each state delegation getting a single vote – a scenario that would likely favour Trump.
