- NEW POLL IN NE02: A conservative pollster found VP Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump 50%-42% in blood-red Nebraska’s swing 2nd District. This matters because a stray Electoral College vote is up for grabs. First in @NE_Examiner:
- The Douglas County Dems did their human blue dot celebration today in Omaha.Home of the 🔵 Blue Dot 🔵 Join us ➡️ nebdouglasdems.com/get-involved/
- Replying to @asanderfordThey say they have no estimate for how long clearing the area might take, but to my eye, it could take into the early morning to get folks cleared out.
- Just got to see three people who have served their sentences register to vote in after the Nebraska Supreme Court’s decision on post-felony voting, including two in Douglas County.
- Replying to @asanderfordAs we were walking, I saw at least two @OmahaPolice officers helping people who were getting cold, one elderly lady and a young boy.
- McDonnell says “as of today” he’s still a no on winner-take-all. Our latest on the presidential drama in Nebraska. From @NE_Examiner:
- The Nebraska Supreme Court has ruled that people who have served a sentence for a felony conviction can register to vote under a new state law. They argue Secretary of State Bob Evnen was wrong to pause registrations under LB 20 without a court having ruled it unconstitutional.
- Replying to @BeschlossDCI was in fourth grade. My teacher knew McAuliffe. She’d told us all about her friend and space. They’d stayed in touch. McAuliffe wrote us. I remember our teacher being so proud. Remember the explosion. The silence. And my teacher running out of the room.
- A second woman who alleged in a @NE_Examiner article this month that #Nebraska gubernatorial candidate @CWHerbster had groped her came forward Friday and allowed her name to be used. Here is what she and two witnesses said they saw Herbster do: #NEgov
- Folks have asked about story’s timing and our process @NE_Examiner on today’s Herbster piece. A brief statement:
- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has landed in Omaha. Shown here greeting State Sen. Tony Vargas of Omaha, the Democratic U.S. House candidate against U.S. Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb.
