NEBRASKA U.S. SENATOR PETE RICKETTS SAYS THE FACT THAT HIS STATE FAILED TO PASS A “WINNER TAKE ALL” BILL REGARDING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES MEANS NEBRASKA COULD DIVIDE THOSE VOTES IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, NO MATTER WHICH CANDIDATE WINS THE MAJORITY OF BALLOTS CAST BY CITIZENS IN THE GENERAL ELECTION:

OMAHA SENATOR MIKE MCDONNELL, WHO RECENTLY SWITCHED HIS VOTER REGISTRATION FROM DEMOCRAT TO REPUBLICAN, WOULD HAVE BEEN THE VOTE NEEDED TO CHANGE THE STATE LAW.
