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. -

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 -

Transcript Prepared By the Clerk of the Legislature Transcriber's Office Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee February 09, 2016 [LB706 LB794 LB801 LB817 LB1036 LB1060] The Committee on Banking, Commerce and Insurance met at 9:00 am. on Tuesday, February 9, 2016, in Room 1507 of the State Capitol, Lincoln, Nebraska, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing on LB794, LB817, and LB1036. Senators present: Jim Scheer, Chairperson; Matt Williams, Vice Chairperson; Kathy Campbell; Joni Craighead; Nicole Fox; Mike Gloor; Brett Lindstrom; and Paul Schumacher. Senators absent: none. SENATOR SCHEER: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee. My name is Jim Scheer. I'm from Norfolk and represent the 19th District. I'll serve as Chair of the committee this year. The committee will take up the bills in the order as posted. Our hearing today is your public part of the legislative process. This is your opportunity to express your position on the proposed legislation before us today. Caveat: There will be coming some different terms that we'll have today in reference to the length that we'll be able to spend on bills. To better facilitate today's hearing I would ask for a few conveniences on your part. Please turn your phones to either silence or vibrate so that it does not interrupt the testimony. If you are going to be testifying, if you could move up into the front area in the chairs so that we know...we don't spend time moving around rather than testifying. Testifiers, you will need to sign in. -
