Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen Will Not Call Special Session to Change Electoral Vote Allocation, Dealing Blow to Trump

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has announced that he will not call a special legislative session to change the way the state allocates its electoral votes to a winner-take-all system. This decision, made on Tuesday, effectively ends an effort led by Donald Trump and the Republicans to modify the electoral vote allocation before November. Pillen cited the inability to persuade 33 state senators as a key reason for not moving forward with the special session. This development is seen as a significant setback for Trump and his supporters who hoped the change could tilt the Electoral College in his favor.
