@briantylercohen Need all states to do this to get rid of gerrymandering and get rid of this talk of certain districts in certain states being the decider in Presidential elections. A vote for a national candidate should not have more or less weight than someone else's vote just due to zip code.
@briantylercohen Take Texas in the 2024 presidential election. 11,380,105 total votes... 6,393,597 for Trump, 4,835,250 for Harris. 11,380,105/40 electoral college votes = 284,502.625 votes per EC vote. Basis the will of the people, Trump should have gotten 23 EC votes and Harris 17.

@DoctorHenryCT Hear arguments about expanding SCOTUS, think, rather, we should look at amending Constitution such that SCOTUS rulings need to be unanimous. If 9 supreme court justices cannot even agree, then they should not have the power to make a ruling that has affects the entire country.
The beautiful weather & great results were enhanced by the presence of future Griffin soccer players!
It was a great day as we held our annual Youth Day! Thank you for joining us for an afternoon of soccer!
@EdKrassen Price increases already here, got a fridge last Nov. for $1100, price fluctuated between $1100 and $1200 since then. April 3 price immediately went to $1450. Frigidaire product that they advertise is assembled in USA, no less. Don't fret, though, according to their website...
@billybinion Unfortunately, we have political parties whose goal is the exact opposite of the goal of the constitution. We also seem to have millions of voters who would give up their rights for forever just to get their way for a moment.
@TeamPillen better job at this than most states. I think we can do better and designate ECV's mathematically basis number of votes rather than by district. Do not think it is productive to pit rural vs urban and have gerrymandered districts.
@TeamPillen If NE were a blue state and had a red dot and you were still a republican Governor, would you still take the same position? Personally, I believe that a state should endeavor to most accurately reflect the will of all voters in designating electoral college votes. We do a...
@andyroddick The change that should be looked at with regard to scotus is that to make a ruling, that ruling should need to be unanimous, if 9 highly intelligent justices cannot agree, the court should not be able to make a binding ruling that affects 300 plus million Americans.
The @NEGOP are eyeing #NE02 in this latest attempt to dilute our state's influence nationwide. #NE02 has gone to Obama in 2008 and Biden in 2020. They know @POTUS can win in 2024. They can't stand that a Blue Dot exists in the state. We will continue to protect it. #NebDems
Pillen is doing the bidding of radical Charlie Kirk today. They want to do away with a fair electoral system that gives Congressional Districts a VOICE in our president. All states should follow Nebraska and Maine.
@MW_Royers 'In addition, we are proposing an 18% increase in sales tax.' Fixed it for her...they just got done giving tax cuts to the wealthiest earners last session, now proposing significant tax increases that will hurt the poorest this session.
@JuddLegum one instance, an embryo was frozen for 19 years? Seems like cruel and unusual punishment to freeze a 'human life' for even a second longer than if would take to give that life a chance to grow?
@JuddLegum Will be interesting how those that believe embryos are a 'human person' reconcile their beliefs with the practice of IVF. Am guessing significant hypocrisy becomes evident. For example, how does one reconcile those beliefs with the practice of freezing embryos? Read that in...
