A new survey of Nebraska’s 2nd District finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump 50 to 42 percent among likely voters for the single electoral college vote with roadkill collector Bobby Kennedy Jr in third at 2 percent, the Nebraska Examiner reports.
The poll, conducted by GOP-friendly Remington Research Group, puts Harris’s lead outside the margin of error in a district where previous surveys had found a much tighter race between Joe Biden and the fat orange fuck, one that Team Biden had pinned their hopes on being literally the 270th electoral college vote as their strategy had been to defend only Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, while leaving Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada pretty much uncontested. It’s also why Trump had screamed at Nebraska Republicans to end apportioning electoral votes by district.
And then he bitched out of it when Maine Democrats threatened to retaliate by doing the same immediately, which would have actually been the riskier outcome for Trump. NE-2 flipped to Biden after Trump held it in 2016 following Romney’s flip in 2012, while ME-2 was red in both 2016 and 2020. Which meant he could either try to win NE-2 outright and net one more electoral vote or he could rig it and then net zero more electoral votes – which would have definitely made Biden’s Blue Wall-only plan easier. Now, whether this poll is accurate or not, the fate of American democracy seems extremely unlikely to come down to one single electoral vote in Nebraska or Maine.
