LINCOLN, NE – Governor Jim Pillen thanked the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee, under the leadership of Chairperson Rita Sanders, for advancing  Winner-Take-All to the floor for debate by the full Legislature.
 
“Winner-Take-All – which would restore unity to Nebraska’s allocation of electoral college votes and strengthen our voice in presidential elections – just passed out of the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee and will receive floor consideration by the full Legislature. This is great news for Nebraska and I’m grateful to Chair Rita Sanders and the great senators who voted to advance WTA for their leadership.”

Legislative Bill 3 was introduced by State Sen. Loren Lippincott of Central City.  LR24CA, introduced by Myron Dorn, also advanced out of committee. It would bring the issues to a vote of the people.
