Nebraska GOP Chairman Eric Underwood has alleged that his plea for assistance in altering the state's electoral laws, potentially to favor former President Donald Trump, was dismissed by Ronna McDaniel, the former Republican National Committee (RNC) chairwoman.

In a conversation with Charlie Kirk, Underwood revealed, "I even went to the RNC last year, Charlie. I had a meeting with Ronna McDaniel and said 'I think this is something that is going to happen ... but I need outside help,' and I was basically told that it wasn't much of an importance."

Kirk, seemingly taken aback, interjected, "Under the prior RNC leadership, they said that another electoral vote for Republicans wasn't a big deal?" Underwood responded, "It was indicated that they couldn't do much from their level and they really couldn't support me more than, just, she might talk with one or two elected officials here and see if there's any interest in it."

Nebraska's current electoral laws divide college votes by Congressional district, deviating from the winner-takes-all system prevalent in most states. This unique system has occasionally allowed candidates to secure electoral college votes despite losing the state overall.

This was the case for both Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who managed to secure one electoral college vote from Nebraska in 2008 and 2020, respectively.

In a post on X, Kirk presented a hypothetical scenario where Trump loses by a single vote, likely from Nebraska. He urged Nebraskans to contact their legislators and "demand their state stop pointlessly giving strength to their political enemies."

In a recent development, Gov. Jim Pillen announced his support for a winner-take-all system. He encouraged his Republican peers in the Legislature to pass a bill introduced by state Sen. Loren Lippincott that would implement this system. This move could potentially alter the political landscape in Nebraska, and by extension, the nation.
