Advocates end Nebraska property tax, winner-take-all, hand-count ballots petition effort

LINCOLN — Nebraskans will not vote this November on any parts of a multi-pronged petition drive seeking to address property taxes and change key parts of state elections.

Eric Underwood, the former chair of the Nebraska Republican Party and spokesperson for the Advocates For All Nebraskans campaign, confirmed to the Nebraska Examiner that the 200 volunteers across the group’s five petitions have been pulled back. Campaigns for statewide ballot measures must submit signatures to the Nebraska Secretary of State’s Office by July 2.

“I’m not going away, we’re not going away,” Underwood said of the group’s future. “We will continue to go to the people until lawmakers represent them.”

While Underwood’s team looks to regroup, including through the launch of a new local petition drive in Lincoln in the coming days, Underwood said the grassroots, volunteer-only effort achieved “exceptional” success in going door-to-door.
