On Tuesday, April 8, the Nebraska Legislature will debate and vote on LB3, a bill that would change Nebraska to a winner-take-all electoral system and silence the voices of thousands of voters in our state. The debate is expected to begin at about 1:30 p.m. CDT on Tuesday.
If it passes, Nebraska will abandon its fair, district-based system, which ensures all voters, no matter where they live, have a say in presidential elections.
This is a blatant power grab initiated by out-of-state interests. Nebraskans have been clear that we want to keep the split vote, and we can’t allow them to erase decades of Nebraska’s independent tradition.
Here’s how you can help stop it:
›› CALL YOUR STATE SENATOR NOW. Find yours here and tell them, “Vote NO on LB3 – Keep Nebraska’s fair electoral system!”
›› EMAIL THEM TODAY. Even a short message helps. Here are some arguments against changing to a winner-take-all system
›› SHARE THIS ALERT. Forward this link, post to your social media networks, and encourage others to act in favor of fairness.
›› COME TO THE CAPITOL ON TUESDAY. Show up at 1:30 pm if you are able. Your presence reminds state senators that their decisions affect real people.
Nebraska’s system works because it respects every voter. Winner-take-all would erase that fairness – for good.
Don’t wait. Call now and tell your senator to keep Nebraska’s votes fair for everyone.
