Column: Nebraska should leave its electoral vote system alone: Gov. Jim Pillen shouldn't push for a winner-take-all system for Nebraska's electoral votes ...

Quick Glance: Nebraska Should Maintain Its Electoral Vote System

Governor Jim Pillen is considering a special session to change Nebraska's electoral system to ensure Donald Trump wins all the state's electoral votes. However, this move is not as straightforward for Trump as Governor Pillen believes. It would not only make our state less democratic but could also backfire, potentially making Nebraska the deciding state that hands the election to President Joe Biden.

Pillen and Republican allies are pushing to switch Nebraska to a winner-take-all system to secure all five electoral votes for Trump. This plan is likely to backfire, as opponents are expected to organize a ballot initiative to reverse it.

Nebraska has a law allowing voters to challenge a bill before it becomes law through a petition process. If opponents gather the required 125,000 signatures, Pillen's transition to a winner-take-all system would be postponed until after November's general election and could be halted altogether if a majority of voters support the referendum.

A ballot initiative would also benefit Democrats in the 2nd District, a true swing district. If successful, it could serve as an additional motivating issue for voters who rightly oppose Trump's interference with the state's democracy for his own gain.

Senator Pete Ricketts from Nebraska donated $500,000 on March 26 to the group Protect Women and Children to put an abortion ban initiative on the ballot.

The initiative aims to enshrine a constitutional ban on abortions after the first trimester and includes exceptions for medical emergencies, sexual assault, or incest.

Among the supporters of the campaign are organizations advocating against abortion, such as Nebraska Right to Life and the Nebraska Family Alliance.

There are competing ballot initiatives, including a protection measure for abortions up to fetal viability with exceptions for later abortions to protect the life or health of the pregnant patient.

Quick Glance: Don Bacon: Ukraine at Risk of Collapse Without US Aid Package

Republican Rep. Don Bacon warned that Ukraine is likely to fall if the US does not approve a new aid package for the country.

Bacon emphasized the importance of aid for Ukraine, citing Russia's support from countries like North Korea, Iran, and China.

He cautioned that a collapse of Ukraine could lead to an expansion of Russian aggression to other nations.

The House has approved a foreign aid package including funding for Ukraine, despite opposition from some conservative members.
