Jim Pillen speaks during the the Congressional statue dedication and unveiling ceremony in honor of author Willa Cather in Statuary Hall of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., June 7, 2023.Multiple key lawmakers in Nebraska are pouring cold water on the prospect of passing a long gestating bill newly endorsed by former President Donald Trump and Gov. Jim Pillen that would change the state's system of awarding Electoral College votes.
