Charlie Kirk, the court jester of MAGA, along with the other miscreants from Real America's Voice (AKA the Sedition Network) have been trying to force Nebraska lawmakers to do away with their system of awarding the state’s Electoral College votes for president.

Sounds a lot like election interference, amirite?

Here's the scoop if you've missed it: Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen, fueled by a push by former President Donald Trump and Republicans nationally, had made an 11th hour push for senators to return the state to a “winner-take-all” system of awarding all five of the state’s Electoral College votes to the presidential winner of the statewide popular vote.

In the 2020 election, Joe Biden received one electoral vote from Nebraska. ONE!

MAGA is desperate to change the playing field because they know their ideas and candidate are a minority party in America. if they believed in all the polling that shows Trump with early leads they wouldn't care about ONE electoral vote.

Kirk opened his show today by immediately focusing on Nebraska.

It is the most important question of whether or not we are going to save the country.

So we have been fighting very hard on trying to get Nebraska to be winner-take-all.

Super simple.

There is no constitutional obstacle getting in the way.

There is not some sort of insurmountable Nebraska legislative rules.

They say we have a filibuster.

We have read all of the Nebraska legislative rules.

A three-fifths majority can vote to suspend the rules.

The Nebraska GOP in the unicameral has that.

Oh, the session time is going to run out?

Well, the governor can call a special session for a specific topic.

So right now, I don't know if this bill is going to succeed this week.

But there is time left on the calendar next week, and the governor can call a special session, change the rules, and have the Speaker of the House, Speaker Arch, change the rules.

Boom.

Winner take all.

The tools are there But what we need is a will to use them.

Kirk is hoping for a last ditch appeal to change the minds of some Nebraska lawmakers who refuse to bow down to these creeps.

State Senator Loren Lippincott of Central City, the sponsor of this new proposal being hawked by Kirk told the Nebraska Examiner, “The fat lady isn’t singing, but I can hear the instruments warming up.”
