Nebraska’s top election official predicts about a third of the state’s registered voters will cast ballots in next week’s primary election.
Secretary of State John Gale says a 30-percent turnout for the May 13th primary might seem small. . .


Gale says the Republican primary is generating the most interest, due to the crowded fields for US Senate and governor. . .


Four Republicans have entered the primary to succeed Senator Mike Johanns, who is retiring.
Six Republicans have entered the primary to succeed Governor Dave Heineman, who cannot run due to term limits.
