Nebraska lawmakers are considering a proposal to change the way the state allocates its electoral votes, following a similar move in Maine. The bill would require the state’s electors to vote for the presidential candidate who wins the state’s popular vote, instead of the current system where electors can vote for a candidate who did not win the state. The proposal comes as some states have seen increased interest in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which aims to award the presidency to the candidate who wins the most votes nationwide.
