Lincoln, NE – Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb released the following statement after Sen. Mike McDonnell announced his final opposition to any changes to Nebraska’s split electoral vote system before the 2024 election, protecting the interests of Nebraska voters:

“Nebraska has a long and proud tradition of independence, and our electoral system reflects that by ensuring that the outcome of our elections truly represents the will of the people without interference.
