LINCOLN – Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen, like a number of governors nationally, says he would be open to redrawing the state’s congressional maps in the middle of the decade.

The governor said so during an Examiner interview as White House talk of Nebraska redistricting has cooled — for now. Pillen’s embrace of the idea appears less bullish than his pushes to alter how the state awards its Electoral College votes for president.

“I’m open to all kinds of conversations,” Pillen said. “Obviously, a couple of states have done redistricting. It was done before I became governor, so that was off my radar … I’ve just not paid attention to how all that works.”

Nebraska, like other states, typically redistricts once a decade after the U.S. Census has finished providing population estimates. The Legislature is tasked with drawing congressional and legislative maps.

They want to split up the Blue Dot!

1. These re-districting states will go to court.

What if SCOTUS rules against them in June, 2026? (Who knows?)

What would happen to the voters in the new/old districts? Would it be too late to organize for Midterms?

2. All for show, just to give a middle finger to Democrats

All their Senators, Congressional Representatives and Governor are already entrenched as Republicans. Their State legislators are predominantly Republican with no expectation that might change. It's just a groveling show of loyalty to the orange turd
