Nebraska Republicans are pushing for a crucial change to the way the state allocates its Electoral College votes, advocating for a winner-takes-all system to avoid any uncertainty ahead of the November contest. 

Both Nebraska senators and all three of the state’s House representatives penned a letter to Gov. Jim Pillen (R-NE) and Speaker of the legislature John Arch on Wednesday urging a return to “the status quo” of awarding all its electoral votes to a single presidential candidate. The letter comes as Pillen considers calling a special legislative session to vote on returning the state to a winner-takes-all system ahead of the presidential election.
