Republicans step up effort to change Nebraska voting rules to help Trump

Congressional Republicans are demanding an 11th-hour change to Nebraska’s presidential voting system in a move that could transform the electoral calculus and tip the race to Donald Trump in the event of a photo finish.

With polls showing Trump neck-and-neck with Kamala Harris both nationally and in battleground states, senior GOP congressional figures are pressing the Nebraska legislature to 👉replace a system that 👍 allocates electoral votes by districts with the
👎winner-takes-all distribution that operates in most US states.

The change would⚠️ increase the number of electors allotted to Trump for winning the solidly Republican state from four to five
– and raises the possibility that the former president could end up tied with Harris at 269 electoral votes each.

Such a scenario 🆘 would pitch the ultimate decision on the election into the House of Representatives, which has the constitutional authority to certify the results – meaning the outcome of November’s House election, in which Republicans are defending a wafer-thin majority, could be even more pivotal than usual.

In a sign of the raised stakes, the South Carolina senator #Lindsay #Graham – a close Trump ally – visited Nebraska this week and urged legislators to find the extra votes needed to revert its electoral college distribution procedure back to the winner-takes-all system it used before 1992.

Pressure was also ratcheted up by the state’s five US congressional members, who wrote to Nebraska’s governor, #Jim #Pillen, and the speaker of its single-chamber legislature, #John #Arch, who are both Republicans.

“As members of Nebraska’s federal delegation in Congress, we are united in our support for apportioning all five of the Nebraska’s electoral votes in presidential elections according to the winner of the whole state,” read the Nebraska delegation’s letter, posted on X by GOP House member Mike Flood, one of its signatories. “It is past time that Nebraska join 48 other states in embracing winner-take-all in presidential elections.”

A two-thirds majority of the Republican-led chamber is needed to change the system. ⭐️Only 31 or 32 of the 50-seat body are thought to be in favour, meaning the spotlight is being focused on the state senator #Mike #McDonnell, a former Democrat who turned Republican this year but swore he would never support winner-takes-all.

Local media reports have depicted McDonnell as wavering amid speculation that Trump may soon contact him personally.

The issue is potentially vital because 💥some pollsters have predicted that Harris is on course to win exactly the 270 electoral votes needed to capture the White House by winning the three northern swing states of #Pennsylvania, #Michigan and #Wisconsin, where recent polling has shown her with small but consistent leads.

🔥However, she would fall short by just one if a winner-takes-all distribution was adopted in Nebraska, whose second congressional district
– encompassing the state’s largest city, #Omaha, and its suburbs
– together with its single electoral vote is expected to fall to Harris, as it did to Joe Biden in 2020.
