Nebraska Supreme Court Upholds Ruling on Election Commissioners

This stems back to more than a century ago, when the Nebraska Legislature drafted the Honest Election Law of 1913. In the legislation, the state's governor is allowed to appoint an election commissioner for counties that have populations higher than 100,000. That only includes Lancaster, Douglas and Sarpy counties. All other Nebraska counties vote for their respective election commissioners. Fast forward to today, the Nebraska Supreme Court said that should remain for now.
