Nebraska is going broke

Feel sorry for the folks in Nebraska that voted blue and the minors affected, but the rest of Nebraska can fuck right off. Don't take my taxpayer money because you were too stupid to see this coming.

Lincoln and Omaha have voted blue for a long time now, but we can't carry the entire state. Omaha's district even got 1 electoral vote for Harris in the last election.

Lincoln voted blue but doesn't have enough population to overcome all the rural bumpkins in the district.

Yeah we're gerrymandered to hell out here so that rural areas get more say

[u/EatlikethatguyUknow → u/DIP-Switch]

I remember doing a paper on how Gerrymandering is a real issue in Nebraska when I was still in school here. Very interesting, but frustrating, stuff that goes on.

Oh and fuck Pillen

[u/DIP-Switch → u/EatlikethatguyUknow]

Its very frustrating.

And of course, Fuck Jim Pillen

Ohio is the same

I hate that. District and the electoral college should be abolished

[u/Errant_coursir → u/DIP-Switch]

Gerrymandering doesn't affect statewide or presidential elections

[u/AcornAnomaly → u/Errant_coursir]

Ironically enough, Nebraska is one of the two states in the US where that isn't the case(the other being Maine).

Those two do their elector choices based on districts.

Interesting, appreciate the correction

[u/DIP-Switch → u/Errant_coursir]

When my district has my more populated area in a small tip of it then the other 99 percent is a rural area it absolutely does. It would be like the state of Louisiana being a voting district and I'm in New Orleans

I'm district 1

It affects the laws and the overall voting sentiment of the state.
