Far-right podcaster prompts Nebraska move to change electoral system

Charlie Kirk tweet leads to governor backing bill to end splitting of electoral college votes - potentially handing advantage to Trump

The power of the far-right commentator Charlie Kirk was illustrated when his tweet prompted the governor of Nebraska to support a bill to change the state's system for presidential elections in order to deny Democrats a single electoral vote that could decide the presidency later this year.

Nebraskans should call their legislators and their governor to demand their state stop pointlessly giving strength to their political enemies," Kirk wrote.
