Democrats believe they can once again pick off a presidential electoral vote from Nebraska.

Barack Obama took the Second Congressional electoral vote in 2008. Clinton for America political director Amanda Reneteria believe Hillary Clinton can duplicate the effort in 2016.

And Reneteria says Clinton might not have to rely on just Democrats. . .

Nebraska is only one of two states which award electoral votes proportionally. Whoever wins the Congressional District wins that electoral vote.

Reneteria claims Bernie Sanders hasn’t caused a problem for Hillary Clinton, but rather has brought young energy to the party. . .

Reneteria says the campaign will take aim at the Second Congressional District, not just to win an electoral vote, but to help freshman incumbent Democrat Brad Ashford will re-election.
