A single Republican state senator from Omaha, Mike McDonnell, has so far stood firm against a push by former President Donald J. Trump, national Republicans and the Nebraska G.O.P. to change Nebraska from a state that divides its electoral votes by congressional district to one that awards all of them to the statewide winner.

The electoral college is a threat to kleptocracy.

Warren Buffett also funds GOP politicians when it is to his advantage.

So no surprise that McDonnell is from Omaha.

What’s McDonnell’s problem?

The guy is going to cost Trump and Vance an electoral vote.

So the Nebraska Legislature has 49 members.

33 members are Republicans

It takes 33 votes to override a filibuster

Omaha is basically the third congressional district.

So the snake senator from Omaha is refusing to change the law foolishly passed in the 1990’s.

Mike McDonnell (born January 15, 1966) is an American politician who serves in the Nebraska Legislature, representing the 5th district. He was a Democrat before switching to the Republican Party in 2024 after being censured by the Nebraska Democratic Party for voting for anti-abortion and anti-transgender legislation.

McDonnell is from Omaha as are most of the 15 Democrat Senators in Nebraska.

Warren Buffett makes sure he protects himself.

It’s unbelievable he won’t help to elect a Republican President!

Does anyone think for a second that a democrat would not help elect a democratic President if the situation was reversed? geeez

Sadly he’s a Democrat that switched parties for expediency. He’s a dead end road as far as voting with us on anything meaningful.
