Nebraska changes to winner-takes-all system that could give Donald Trump victory: Lindsey Graham

US: Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, ‘guessed’ when asked to assess the probability of Nebraska changing the way it apportions its Electoral College Date to forecast its elections in November as “50/50.”

Furthermore, Graham belongs to a plethora of Donald Trump loyalists who are fighting for a winner-take-all approach by Nebraska, and more recently, democratic leaders came to the state to meet Republican leaders to strategize on how to implement the shift.

Currently, Nebraska splits its five Electoral College votes so that the winner of each of the state’s three congressional districts earns one vote and the president who gets a majority of votes in the state earns the remaining two votes.

The changes will also ensure that the Electoral College votes will now be awarded to the winner of the statewide popular vote, which is quite likely to tarnish K. Harris’s sense of Me Too in the competitive fight against the former president. As President Biden did in 2020, now it is expected that the Vice President will also get at least one Electoral College vote from Nebraska’s second congressional district.

In this scenario and all things being equal and normal outcomes elsewhere in November, Harris is very likely to win all three battleground states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, which are part of the so-called blue wall stalwarts, and achieve 270 votes in the Electoral College.

If we hypothetically consider that Trump shall secure all five winner-take-all Electoral College votes—Oklahoma, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada—then the election would result in a 269-269 tie very likely. Under such circumstances, it is the GOP-dominated Congress which will detain Trump, because the House is the one that will elect the president.

Even on Meet the Press, the program is available on NBC. Graham, speaking off-air, recognized the real possibility of Nebraska moving to a winner-take-all system, which highlights the importance of Newman’s argument during the 2024 elections. “It’s a very close contest.” It’s Bill, Deputy Republican Leader in the House, replacing Speaker Pelosi. “A beautiful storm is indeed coming. It is a very well-known secret how long President Biden has [for those to whom it is possible].

Roughly. Illinois, New York, and Pennsylvania added a fourth republican. “Nebraska,” in America, is a (-) House of Representatives that supports this amendment without a single contrary vote impaired on the floor. “Unfortunately, I say to my friends in Nebraska that one electoral vote counts and it can make a difference; for example, Harris is president rather than someone else, and she is a problem for both Nebraska and the planet,” Graham said.

Answering guilt laid on the Democrats for executing a “coup” against Biden, who suspended his presidential bid in July following dismal performance in the CNN debate, it was also said by host Kristen Welker that the mother party had the “right to change” its candidate at the top of its ticket. Graham said, “So does Nebraska.” Sitting in a booth, “how likely is it such a shift would occur”? it says Graham, “50/50 attempts, down to two people.” Nebraska state senator Mike McDonnell of Omaha, a former Democrat who became a Republican last April, a short time ago stated that he does favor switching to approach, with a winner takes all method.

Graham’s office have all this while been emailed for the purpose of comment. In preparation of the 1992 elections, Nebraska, which is traditionally Republican-oriented and which Electoral College system can crow, changed its system of Electoral College voting. Maine, a predominantly Democrat-styled state, is the only state, other than these two, that does not adopt a winner-takes-all practice in presidential elections. The other five congressmen who are from Nebraska and are in the Republican party are for the changing of systems to the winner takes it all system. Republican Governor Jim Pillen of Nebraska said he would ask for a special session to pass a reform if he is able to get the support of 33 Republican state senate members to oppose the filibuster, among other sources.

The Nebraska Democratic Party explained that there is no reason for such non-local promoters to tell voters, “Change the way you have been doing things for decades, when ballots have already been sent out.” “We take pride in our state senators because they have remained active, vocal, and unshaken on the issue of the people of Nebraska having a voice in governance and will remain so,” said the statement.
