Been working this week on a story about some things going on behind the scenes in the #Nebraska Senate race. Today, some of those things popped. Story being posted on @OWHnews as we speak.

#NESen
Text messages may come back to bite @CJSenate2020 after Janicek made some comments the @NebraskaDems called "sexually inappropriate." The party is now asking him to quit the race so they can replace him against @BenSasse. #NESen

From @OWHnews:

Story has been updated with comments from Janicek and the lawyer for the alleged victim.

Story has been written through one more time to include comment from the second place finisher in the race, @AngieForNe, and some additional context.

omaha.com/news/local/dem…
Story now adds the voice of @AlishaSheltonNE, who says she is willing to run against Janicek if he doesn't back down. State law may prevent her from filing as a write-in candidate if he stays in the race because she lost in the primary.

The line at the @charliekirk11 winner-take-all rally in #Nebraska is already north of 130 people, about an hour before things kick off.

#NE02 GOP candidate @Frei4Nebraska is working the line. He’s running in the May primary against @DonJBacon.

Inside the church, more than 300 people are expected, and as many as 500 if overflow rooms are needed. Image

The #Nebraska Legislature after dark tonight is discussing an unfriendly amendment to LB 1300 that opens the possibility of a test vote for the potential of changing the way the state awards its Electoral College votes. Most do not see the votes to clear a filibuster. (THREAD)
For people just tuning in: Many of the Democrats and a progressive registered nonpartisan in the officially nonpartisan unicameral (one-house) Legislature are extolling the virtues of continuing to split up Nebraska's electoral votes by congressional district.
At issue for some, including former President @realDonaldTrump, is that the Omaha-based 2nd Congressional District remains one of the nation's most competitive. It voted for President @JoeBiden in 2020, sending one of the state's five electoral votes to the Democrat over Trump.

At the presser for the Support Our Schools group that says they have gathered nearly double the signatures they needed to get on the #Nebraska’s 2024 general election ballot. They’ve been delivering boxes to Sec of State. Image
Will try to tweet a little of the presser. Image
NSEA president Jenni Benson says the sheer number of signatures “sends a powerful message to elected officials and Nebraskans need them to listen. Nebraskans support public schools.” Image

Thread today @NEGOP’s State Central Committee meeting in Norfolk. They’re discussing typical party business. Some of the focus will be on a party constitutional amendment proposal to remove the voting power of four GOP-affiliated groups from state party’s Executive Committee. Image
The proposal from a 3rd District member, would make advisory members instead of voting members out of the Federation of Republican Women, Young Republicans, College Republicans and High School Republicans. The GOP chair could then exclude any of them from certain exec meetings. Image
This likely sounds like gobbledygook. Essentially, some partisans say they want to take away these votes because the groups side more often with the traditional wing of the GOP or the Ricketts wing. Some rural folks think the groups give unfair power to urban and suburban areas. Image

Big day. Image
The folks handling Capitol Security and the redcoats are taking the step today of separating the supporters and opponents of Legislative Bill 626, a proposal to ban abortions in the state after an ultrasound detects embryonic cardiac activity. ImageImage
There are already some folks here standing in the Rotunda who say they are against LB 626. Image
