The Nebraska electoral college fight highlights electoral votes by district over winner-take-all system of elections.
Voting booths are illuminated by a shaft of sunlight as people cast their ballots at a polling site in Billings, Mont., on Nov. 6, 2012.
McDonnell says just 43 days before Election Day is not the time to change how the election works in the Cornhusker State. The rule changes didn’t make much of a difference right away; the statewide winners swept all the state’s districts anyway. Yet, these two districts prove that the popular vote winner is not always the one supported by the entire state. It also shows why Trump pushed for the winner-take-all method in Nebraska, but not in Maine.“It would have been better, and far less expensive, for everyone!” he wrote of the winner-take-all method, adding that McDonnell is “just another grandstander.” “I LOVE OMAHA, and won it in 2016.
They point to the fact that many states are ignored during election season as their electoral preferences are well-known in advanced – but if it were districts up for grabs rather than states, more voters would get to see and hear from the candidates directly. In turn, that would result in better voter turnout.
