The Cost of Bigotry

I apologise for the formatting. Try as I might, I can't get it to fit, but I thought this was important enough to share.

From The American Catholic

By Donald R. McClarey, JD

Senator Mike McDonnell of Nebraska, in the unicameral legislature all the representatives are senators, has switched to the Republican party, noting that his pro-life stance made him anathema in the Democrat party. McDonnell is a Roman Catholic, and Democrats have not been shy about attacking his faith. He has also announced that he is supportive of a Republican initiative to make Nebraska a winner take all electoral state. With his switch the GOP might have enough votes to do it in the Nebraska legislature. This would eliminate the one electoral vote that the Democrats have gotten out of Nebraska via the Omaha congressional district and give all five electoral votes to Trump.

Why this might be important: if this goes through, and if Trump wins all the states he won in 2020, plus Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, all states Trump is ahead in according to polls, there would be an electoral tie of 269-269. The tie would be resolved in the House where the delegations would vote by states, winner take all, which would give the GOP an insurmountable advantage. As of now I think Trump would win more states than this, but it is always good to have an insurance policy, and this would cause the Democrats to pump more money in fighting on good turf for Trump.

Push someone around long enough and the payback by them can be awesome indeed.
