This story first appeared in the Nebraska Examiner. LINCOLN, Neb. — The national Republican push to help former President Donald Trump win all five of Nebraska’s Electoral College votes is ramping up again,

Republicans are stepping up their efforts to change Nebraska's electoral vote process to winner-take-all -- a move that would benefit former President Donald Trump in an expected close November election in which a single vote could make a key difference in the Electoral College.

Nebraska lawmakers are facing last-minute pressure to replace the state's unique presidential electoral system with a winner-take-all model backed by former President Donald Trump.

Nebraska Republicans have held the governor’s mansion and state legislature since 1999, and occasionally debated whether to return to winner-take-all. Earlier this year, before the regular legislative session ended, conservative activists led by Turning Point Action urged the party to act, and Trump himself endorsed the idea.

Too late for Maine Democrats to retaliate, Nebraska Republicans may implement a winner-take-all system, swiping an electoral vote from Harris.
