Lawmakers in Nebraska rejected an attempt to change the way the state awards electoral votes to a “winner-take-all” system on Wednesday night, but the sponsor of the effort said he intends to try again before the legislative session ends.

Nebraska allocates its electoral votes based on a popular vote in each congressional district with two at-large electors who mirror the popular vote of the entire state, being the only state alongside Maine to do so. Gov. Jim Pillen (R-NE) announced his support to change the system on Tuesday, but the state Senate voted down the proposal 36-9 on Wednesday night.
