New Redistricting Moneyball state: Nebraska

@SamWangPhD

At PEC, we've found a new Redistricting Moneyball state: Nebraska! Affects a key Congressional district, important for both the House and also the Presidency (on account of how Nebraska allocates electoral votes). #FairMaps #Moneyball2020

For Nebraska's 2nd Congressional Districts, running competitive campaigns for a decade would cost millions. And without a competitive district, no amount of money would matter.

Contributions to state races now: tens of thousands.

What a bargain. The point of leverage is now.

I got a text from my daughter in Omaha, about 20 min ago saying Trump was coming to Omaha next week.

No doubt, this electoral vote is why..

That's also the reason Sasse has suddenly been distancing himself from Trump.
Hopefully this trip will backfire & the electoral vote goes to Dems.

Haaaha..Sasse is probably sitting there today screaming, "My god just stay away!! I got this!"

..lines with large Biden/Harris signs.

These are older established wealthier neighborhoods.
It was a lovely sight to see.

That's be really cool!

I see there's a snowstorm there on Sunday night/Monday morn with plows ready to clear streets.

Maybe Trump's plane won't land. I don't know what day he'll be there
