Interesting to see the @dcsheriff race on the @NebraskaDems side that close. But Greg Gonzalez advances over Wayne Hudson. He’ll face Aaron Hanson in the general election.
For folks who are wondering, these results are being updated with the 10k early voting ballots returned on Tuesday. Those are not opened and counted until today in Douglas Co.
Updated breakdown of numbers from Douglas Co. early vote ballots returned on Election Day: about 10,600 from Tuesday, 4,400 Republicans, 4,500 Democrats. The rest are non-partisans and other parties.
The race to replace term-limited State @SenBLindstrom in west Omaha’s District 18 finished 21 votes apart between the candidate backed by Lindstrom, who will advance, and the candidate backed by @GovRicketts, who will not.
On this tight LD 18 race for second place behind Michael Young, there are 73 or so provisional ballots to be considered that will be counted next week, Friday, according to the election office. So hold onto your hat.
On the tight @mccneb board at-large race for second place between Horsechief and McCarthy that flipped in Douglas Co., McCarthy likely advances. The Sec of State’s Office will update their official numbers on the multi-county race around 2p.
If you’re new to following me, a word of warning, it might get busy with tweets tonight. I will try to live tweet what’s going on with results.
It can be a lot.
A little schedule primer for people reading election results. #Nebraska's most populous counties -- Douglas (Omaha), Sarpy (suburbs) and Lancaster (Lincoln) -- are going to be leading with early voting ballots returned by yesterday with the first results at 8p.
Spending Sunday with @CWHerbster, former President Donald Trump and his fans. I'll try to live tweet.
Just spoke with traveling minister Kathy Brueggemann of Beatrice. She says she travels with Herbster and that he is a good man, a better man than people say. She said she learned of him through his mother in law.
Crowd starting to be let in at the Greenwood, #Nebraska’s I-80 Speedway. Trump set is on grass, little smaller than October 2020, but still room for at least 2k in here. Herbster and other speakers start at 2p. Trump is expected to speak at 5p.
On April 14, after months of reporting that pre-dated the @NE_Examiner, we published the first story on the allegations of eight women who said @CWHerbster groped them at political events or pageants.
The first round of rebuttals to the story attacked @SenatorSlama for coming forward, saying she was the only named person in the article, including witnesses. So we spoke with three people and they agreed to go on record with names. (2/9)
Out at the #Trump rally in Greenwood, #Nebraska. Looks like a solid crowd of volunteers and fans. Weather and the former president are the talk in line.
Hearing the rally has been postponed until Sunday, weather permitting. Still trying to verify with @CWHerbster.
