Could one Nebraska House race alter the Electoral College?

A day after Nebraska held its primary election, the result in the Democratic race to fill one of the most competitive House seats in the country is still too close to call. We discuss how one possible outcome in that race could change the way the state awards its Electoral College votes in presidential elections, plus the particularly strange dynamics in the state’s Senate race. This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson, and Minnesota Public Radio host Clay Masters. This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
