On Monday, March 10, the Government Committee of the Nebraska Legislature will consider whether to advance a bill that would dismantle our state’s unique split electoral vote system – one that has made Nebraska more relevant, more competitive, and more reflective of its voters in presidential elections.
We need you to act now. Contact the senators on the Government Committee and tell them to reject this attempt to silence Nebraska voters. Every voice matters in this fight to keep our system fair and representative.

Here is a sample script for you to consider:
Hello Senator [Last Name],
My name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City/Town]. I’m urging you to oppose any attempt to eliminate Nebraska’s split electoral vote system and to reject winner-take-all from the Government Committee.
For over 30 years, Nebraska’s system has ensured that every voter’s voice matters. It encourages presidential candidates to pay attention to our state and respects the diverse perspectives of rural and urban Nebraskans. Eliminating it would make Nebraska less competitive, less relevant, and less reflective of the will of its voters.
Nebraskans made their voices loud and clear when we filled the Capitol for the hearing. Please listen to the overwhelming feedback you received and prioritize the will of Nebraskans over national partisan pressure. I urge you to vote NO on advancing LB3.
Thank you for your time and service to our state.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your Contact Information
Thank you! Your voice can help protect Nebraska’s electoral system. Contact the Government Committee today and make sure they hear from Nebraskans who value fairness and representation.
