Sen. Mike McDonnell (R) says he's a no on winner-take-all 'as of today'

OMAHA — Nebraska State Sen. Mike McDonnell of Omaha acknowledged Thursday through a spokesman that he discussed on Wednesday the future of how Nebraska awards its Electoral College votes.

McDonnell was among two dozen Republican state senators who met in Lincoln with Gov. Jim Pillen, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and others backing former President Donald Trump.

Most in the group, along with the Nebraska Republican Party, want Nebraska to adopt a winner-take-all approach to presidential elections, like 48 other states. They want it done this year.

Nebraska and Maine award a single Electoral College vote to the winner in each congressional district, plus two votes to the statewide winner of the presidential popular vote.
