Some Nebraskans believe the minimum wage issue was placed on the ballot to drive a certain block of voters to the polls that would in turn impact the results of other issues on the ballot. Now some believe that is the goal of Nebraskans for the Death Penalty is to bring out the conservative vote. Spokesperson Chris Peterson says that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Lawmakers voted to repeal the death penalty earlier this year. Peterson says their effort isn’t a jab back for repealing the law.

They need signatures from 5% of all registered voters by August 27th to accomplish that goal and 10% to suspend the bill that repealed the death penalty earlier this year.
They have offices in Omaha and Lincoln and plan to open a third in Grand Island soon.
