Nebraska Faces Controversy Over Proposed Electoral College Change

Efforts to shift the state to a winner-takes-all system for Electoral College votes have encountered legislative hurdles and sparked debate.

A pro-Trump pastor in Nebraska is pushing for a change in how the state allocates its Electoral College votes to benefit Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist, is also involved in efforts to shift Nebraska to a winner-takes-all electoral system, amid resistance from some state lawmakers.
Despite these efforts, Nebraska's Speaker of the Legislature announced that no vote will be taken on changing the electoral vote system, and the legislative session is nearing its end.
Critics argue that changing Nebraska's electoral vote allocation could be seen as election interference, while supporters claim it reflects the will of the state's voters.
The push for change has sparked controversy, with calls for revoking the tax-exempt status of a church involved in promoting the change.
