A bill that did not pass in this year’s Nebraska legislative session is an issue in the District 40 Senate race.
Senator Tyson Larson of O’Neill sponsored LB1058, which would tie Nebraska’s five electoral votes to those of other states in a similar vote compact, in an effort to extend the influence of small states.
Challenger Keith Kube says it would not be good for Nebraska…
Larson says the bill would help small states balance against large states that can swing elections…
Kube says he is concerned about the impacts to rural, agricultural states…
Larson says states with larger voter turnouts should be able to have more of a say in Presidential elections…
Larson says if he is re-elected, he plans to reintroduce the bill in the 2015 legislature.
