Our son lives in Nebraska. We love the state, and love visiting there - not only because our family is there, but because it feels like Mayberry, America - the true Heartland, huge cornfields and salt-of-the-earth folks.

We’re praying that humble little Nebraska might play a big role in the direction of our nation. Having family there, we follow its politics pretty closely- we also celebrated when RINO Ben Sasse left the scene!

We are hoping to primary out Bacon and Fischer as well. Vote Frei and Weaver!

I’ll take a rino over a democrat at this point. We need a bigger majority to pass anything.

Forgive my ignorance, but how can an elected state rep just change parties in the middle of their term? Wasn't he elected by Democrats? Seems like they'd be pissed he's "changed teams". Can they recall him now?

So Nebraska has a unicameral (only one House and no senate). Our representatives are called senators and they actually do not run as republicans or democrats. You have to do the research to understand what their platforms are. But they don’t really advertise themselves as Dem or GOP. So as such, declaring he’s switching parties doesn’t mean anything to his constituents. Additionally we already had a majority of conservatives.

I thought it already happened and the governor signed it. No?

Good to hear good things from Neb as we lovingly call it - grew up there in a very conservative family w 6 siblings, sadly the ones still there are all on the left or leaning left full of injected poison, and here I am in CA as conservative as ever with no toxic injections.

That’s so sad! I’m just outside of Omaha but surrounded by conservatives.

There is a possibility that it will come up for another vote before the legislative session ends . Perhaps Nebraska Republicans need to get louder ?

It is ridiculous that Omaha decides the fate of the entire state when it consistently votes red .

Omaha votes Red? Or did you mean Blue?

I think "it" means the State in her sentence.

Blue and red. They call district 2 a purple district.

At least Oregon doesn’t split electoral votes. It’s makes you wonder if Maine & Nebraska electoral policies are Constitutionally sound. What if every state did this ? This would abolish the very purpose of the electoral college.
