The bill will be added via amendment into LB 541, which is in the general file, allowing legislators to vote on the bill in the current session.
Nebraska State Senator Loren Lippincott's standalone winner-take-all bill is set to be incorporated via amendment into LB 541, which is in the general file, granting state lawmakers the opportunity to consider and vote on the proposed legislation during this session.
The move signifies a significant effort by Nebraska Republicans to overhaul the state's electoral system, transitioning it from a district-based allocation of electoral votes to a winner-take-all approach. This means that the presidential candidate who wins the most votes in the state will be awarded all of its electoral delegates.
Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen announced his support for the initiative on Tuesday, indicating his willingness to sign the bill into law should it reach his desk. This declaration came shortly after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk urged Nebraskans to contact Pillen's office and advocate for the bill's passage.
The legislation, championed by State Senator Loren Lippincott, now moves forward for consideration by Nebraska lawmakers, offering them the opportunity to vote on its implementation.
Kirk took to social media, urging Nebraskans to reach out to State Senator Tom Brandt's office to express support for the bill in a respectful and courteous manner.
“Nebraskans: Please call Senator Tom Brandt's office. Don't be rude or mean. Be charming, kind, and respectful. Invite these patriots to get behind something historic. If you're out of state, please email," Kirk emphasized in a post on X.
As Nebraska attempts to change its electoral system, many republican leaders believe that a winner-take-all system would increase former President Donald Trump’s odds of securing enough electoral votes to win the election in November.
