Nebraska GOP Proposes Splitting Omaha District

Nebraska Republicans have proposed splitting Omaha between two congressional districts, turning one swing district into two safe Republican seats, the Lincoln Journal Star reports.

“That dramatic move could alter the political landscape of Nebraska’s only swing congressional district, which handed an electoral vote to Democratic President Joe Biden last November and elected a Democratic congressman in 2014.”

If this proposal goes through, the biggest losers will be Omaha’s television stations which run millions of dollars in political ads every two years.
