GOP attempt to change Nebraska’s electoral vote system fails

Neb. state Sen. Beau McCoy of Omaha, center, speaks during a debate in Lincoln, Neb., Tuesday, April 12, 2016, on a proposal to reinstate a winner-take-all system for Nebraska's five presidential electoral votes, with Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha, left, and Sen. John Murante of Gretna, right, listening. The measure has failed in the Legislature after supporters failed to overcome a filibuster , thwarting a Republican attempt to increase the chances of their 2016 presidential nominee winning all five of the state's votes.
