General Election Official Results OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF STATE CANVASSERS GENERAL ELECTION NOVEMBER 6, 2018 Compiled by JOHN A. GALE Nebraska Secretary of State STATE OF NEBRASKA _____________ OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE _____________ When I was sworn into office December 19, 2000, our national elections were under heavy assault. Due to election calamities across the country, there was nationwide clamor to improve election technology and election management. The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), and the $3.5 billion appropriated for elections, was a direct result. State government elected that Nebraska become a top-down state with a statewide election management system, a centralized voter registration database, and a uniform statewide system of election equipment owned and maintained by the state. The choices have served us well and all federal mandates have been met. From 2006 through 2018, Nebraska has had smooth, reliable, accessible, transparent and accountable elections. Nebraska’s 93 county election officials and commissioners have been outstanding partners with the Secretary of State. The Chairman of the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission once ranked Nebraska as an A+ system. Public confidence in our elections has been high. The general election of November 6, 2018, was my ninth general election as Secretary of State. Nebraska hit a voter registration record, a decade plus mid-term election voter turnout, four counties conducting their elections completely by mail and a significant increase in early voting. 2018 was a very smooth election year. It has been a great honor and privilege to serve as Nebraska’s Secretary of State, Chief Election Officer, and as a member of the Nebraska Canvassing Board. During my eighteen years, the Board has needed to order occasional recounts following our primary and our general elections but the recounts were generally in low ballot races and resolved fairly and with accuracy. My thanks to my excellent Secretary of State Elections Team, our professional 93 county election officials and commissioners, and our very competent and reliable vendors. Also my thanks to our Office of Chief Information Officer and the Department of Homeland Security for their significant contributions to our 2018 election cybersecurity plan. With all best wishes, John A. Gale Secretary of State MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF STATE CANVASSERS Pete Ricketts Governor John A.

  • Nebraska Legislature: How They Voted for the Early Advantage of Children in the 104Th Legislative Session 2015 – 2016
    Nebraska Legislature: How they Voted for the Early Advantage of Children in the 104th Legislative Session 2015 – 2016 Dear Nebraska Friends and Colleagues, July 2016 We have pulled together the following information to indicate how Nebraska’s State Senators voted for children on select occasions during the 104th Legislative Session. These selected votes were based on legislative proposals critical to impacting working families and their children. These proposals were priorities of the Holland Children’s Movement related to issues of health, education and economic stability. We have included a percentage of each senator’s support of these priorities based on their votes on specific legislative measures throughout 2015-16. These voting records do not indicate other legislative activities of interest to Nebraska’s children, such as committee votes or bills introduced. We are pleased to report that more than half of all senators voted in support of the position of the Holland Children’s Movement 80% or more of the time. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all of our senators for their dedication to public service and our gratitude for the actions taken to make Nebraska a national leader in opportunities for all children. We hope you will continue to support efforts to tackle the root causes of family poverty and assure that every child in Nebraska will have the support and opportunities they need to reach their full potential. Sincerely, John J. Cavanaugh Chief Operating Officer 1700 Farnam St, Ste 1090 Omaha, NE 68102 2016

  • Holland Children's Movement
    Nebraska Legislature: How they Voted for the Early Advantage of Children in the 105th Legislature 1st Session 2017 Dear Nebraska Friends and Colleagues, July 2017 Holland Children’s Movement has put together a list of important legislative votes on proposals important to improving the lives of working families and their children. The selected votes in this issue are from the 2017 legislative session. These proposals were priorities of the Holland Children’s Movement as they relate to issues of access to quality health care, child care, education, and economic opportunity. We have included a percentage of each senator’s support of these priorities based on their votes on specific legislative measures for 2017 and cumulatively with their 2016 results. These voting records do not cover all legislative actions and proposals of interest to Nebraska children, such as committee votes or bills introduced. In that regard, we would like to commend Senators John Stinner and Jim Smith for removing language which would have suspended the School Readiness Tax Credits critical to raising quality standards. We also commend Senator Sue Crawford for introducing paid family and medical leave legislation and Senator Lynn Walz for introducing pre-K expansion legislation. We are pleased to report that nearly half of senators voted in support of the position of the Holland Children’s Movement 83% or more of the time. We extend our sincere appreciation to all our senators for their dedication to public service and our gratitude for the actions taken to protect Nebraska children and families in difficult financial times. The 2017 legislative session presented challenges, such as LB 461 which posed a direct threat to the future of quality health and education programs for years to come, and LB 335, which would have eliminated the use of a market rate survey to set child care subsidy rates.
