LINCOLN- On Tuesday, Gov. Jim Pillen called for the state Legislature to pass a measure introduced this year to switch Nebraska to a 'winner-takes-all' electoral system, a change that would bring the state in line with much of the country. Only Maine and Nebraska assign Electoral College votes by district, with two most often going to Republicans and one going to a Democrat.

"It would bring Nebraska into line with 48 of our fellow states, better reflect the founders' intent, and ensure our state speaks with one unified voice in presidential elections," Pillen argued, "I call upon fellow Republicans in the Legislature to pass this bill to my desk so I can sign it into law." The Nebraska Freedom Coalition, a conservative group, lauded Pillen's announcement, adding that the group believes the proposal will appear in the Legislature "very soon."

Shortly after Pillen's call for the change, former Pres. Donald Trump also lauded Pillen for his support of a 'winner-take-all' system. "Governor Jim Pillen of Nebraska, a very smart and popular Governor, who has done some really great things, came out today with a very strong letter in support of returning Nebraska's Electoral Votes to a Winner-Tale-All System," wrote Trump on Truth Social, "Thank you Governor for you bold leadership."
