Powell claims victory --

the Election Commission released the make-up of the outstanding vote and it's close to impossible for Cavanaugh to make up the difference.

Cavanaugh led slightly in the early mail-in/dropbox voting but if he won at that rate with the remaining ballots he'd barely gain any ground. I expect Powell to increase her lead a bit. The same-day voting favored her as the barrage of TV ads for her took effect. The remaining votes are people who mailed their ballots very late or dropped them in the box the same day and are more likely to reflect same-day voting.

In bad news for Nebraska, a full-MAGA-tard-tinfoil-hat clown won the primary for Secretary of State and probably will win the general, though I wouldn't be shocked to see outside groups go all in to beat him in November. I know the guy some and he is completely whacked.

The Nebraska Governor's race actually looks like it might be competitive. We have the worst Governor since I've been here (27 years). He's a hog farmer who knows nothing about government and is really stupid on top of that. He sole-sourced a $2.5M contract to a woman who's not his wife but has been his frequent travel companion. The state police are allegedly investigating. The Dems nominated a tough, no-nonsense state legislator (Lynn Walz) who has won in Trump districts. I normally don't donate to Dems in statewide races because it's a waste of money but I'll send a few bucks her way, Osborn's way, and whomever the Dems nominated for Secretary of State.
