Isn’t it the Republicans that are crying about election laws changing right before an election? Even though those changes were to adapt to the pandemic.
Now, they WANT changes with 40 days left?
Hypocrite much? (Rhetorical question, obviously they do)

Now Harris can just win Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and the 1 Nebraska vote and win the election.

Thank goodness we still have republicans in key positions that wont bow down to trump and cheat.

Kudos to Nebraska Republicans for doing the right thing here.
And if anyone thinks that one EC vote isn’t important think about this. If the election results came in the way the 538 polling averages are as of today other than Nevada breaking for Trump instead of Harris; with that one EC vote in Nebraska Harris wins 270-268. If that vote for the Omaha area went to Trump it’s a 269-269 tie and Trump would win because the House is in Republican hands.

It’s a possibility that it could affect the election, but it’s just that, a possibility. The likelihood of blowback is far worse, and not just to Trump. Going forward, the GOP should be far more interested in more states adopting the Nebraska model than abandoning it, and they know that.
“That is profoundly disappointing to me and the many others who have worked so earnestly to ensure all Nebraskans’ votes are sought after equally this election” oh boo hoo I’m sorry you couldn’t suppress democrat votes and call it equal representation, you loser bitch

Guess the Nebraska governor is concerned Harris will appoint a real attorney general instead of a limp noodle.

He sees other elected officials from 2020 going through legal shit because they went along with trumps dumb ass plans. He don’t want that

Should be federally illegal to change electoral college vote allocation in an election year. Boggles my brain that this was only stopped because one republican said no because of his future political aspirations.

Republicans have been the only one passing bills right before the election yet they claim the left is stealing it and a threat…

I was nervous about this.
Glad to see even in the heartland, solid “Red” territory, a shred of democracy and decorum exists.
We can win in November. Vote.

Campaigns that think they’re winning don’t scramble to change the rules at the last minute.
This was an act of desperation. Trump’s internal numbers must be less rosy than public polling.

Doesn’t have the votes. Womp Womp.

Hey NBC news, I know this never happens, but somehow your headline is misleading.
Whoever wrote it is putting out the false impression this is the act or intent of Nebraska’s Governor.
In truth, this corrupt Governor had every intention of stealing this EC vote. His efforts were stymied at the last minute by a disenfranchised Republican state senator who wouldn’t go along with it. You’ve made it sound like the crooked GOP Governor is actually standing up to Donald Trump, which is untrue.
