Nebraska's split-vote electoral system, which the Democrat-leaning Maine also uses, came into effect in 1991, with the state facing multiple attempts to repeal it since. The current proposal was introduced in 2023 by Senator Loren Lippincott.

Sen. Lindsey Graham said it's "very reasonable" for Nebraska to push for a change to its electoral vote system because the election could come down to a single electoral vote.

Nebraska Republicans are pushing for a crucial change to the way the state allocates its Electoral College votes, advocating for a winner-takes-all system to avoid any uncertainty ahead of the November contest.
