Sen. Lindsey Graham and Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen met with Republican state lawmakers to advocate for changing Nebraska’s electoral vote allocation from a district-based system to a winner-take-all system. This move, supported by former President Trump, aims to consolidate electoral votes for a single candidate, potentially affecting Vice President Kamala Harris's chance of winning a decisive vote in the Omaha district. Despite some support, they face procedural hurdles and insufficient backing to ensure the change before early voting. Gov. Pillen stated he would consider a special session if there is enough support from lawmakers, as the current system aligns Nebraska with Maine, the only other state with a non-winner-take-all approach.
