Nebraska GOP senator opposes Electoral College change that may have helped Trump win re-election
Fox News
A key Nebraska lawmaker said Monday that he opposes any changes to how electoral votes are disbursed during an election, jeopardizing Republican plans to lock down votes.
Maine and Nebraska are the only two states that give two electoral votes to the candidate who wins statewide and one to the winner in each congressional district. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
"Elections should be an opportunity for all voters to be heard, no matter who they are, where they live, or what party they support," McDonnell’s statement read. "For decades, Nebraska has tried to live up to that ideal by allocating our electoral college votes in a way that gives all Nebraskans an equal voice in choosing our President. For Omaha, the city I love and have called home for 58 years, it brings tremendous national attention, is impactful on our local economy and forces Presidential candidates to make their case to all Nebraskans, instead of just flying over and disregarding us."
