Key #Nebraska #Republican Rejects #Trump’s Push to Shake Up #ElectoralMap
#MikeMcDonnell, a state senator, said he would not support an effort to change the state’s electoral system to #WinnerTakeAll, an outcome that could have cost #KamalaHarris an electoral vote.
The NE senator who #Republicans hoped would help ease Trump’s path to the WH by agreeing to change how the state allocates its #ElectoralCollege votes said on Mon that he would not do so.

"Les hectares ne votent pas, ce sont les gens qui votent ! Édition française.
Chaque commune a été transformée en un point dont la taille est proportionnelle au nombre d'électeurs.
Cette méthode offre une représentation plus précise des schémas de vote. Néanmoins, la forte présence du soutien à l'extrême droite 🟤reste préoccupante."

Trump lost a 2000 presidential primary in California (though born in NY), and needed an angle for 2016.
He ran Nixon/Reagan #SouthernStrategy. "Make America Great Again!" His #ElectoralMap is dotted with oases of Blue cities in seas of rural Red.
Another loser won - barely - with help from good ol' #WhiteSupremacists.
He went back to that well in 2020 and got a well-earned, resounding trouncing. (That's TWO popular votes lost!)
Ergo, #Jan6th #insurrection.
(Please #indicthimalready!)
15/23 "'Who needs Manhattan when we can get the electoral votes of eleven Southern states?' Kevin Phillips, the prophet of "the emerging Republican majority," asked in 1968, when he was piecing together Richard Nixon's #ElectoralMap.
'Put those together with the Farm Belt and the Rocky Mountains, and we don't need the big cities. We don't even want them.'"
Big cities/urban are bad; Farm belt/rural is good. We see that conceptualization again.
