☆ Nebraska Supreme Court Upholds Voting Rights for Felons
  + stars: | 2024-10-16 | by ( Mitch Smith | More About Mitch Smith | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
He argued that under the Nebraska Constitution, only the state’s Board of Pardons could restore voting rights to someone with a felony conviction. The Board of Pardons is made up of Mr. Pillen, Mr. Hilgers and Mr. Evnen. A spokeswoman for Mr. Hilgers said they were reviewing the ruling. Supporters of the law expanding voting rights sued over the implementation of Mr. Hilgers’s opinion on behalf of two people who said they were hoping to vote this year. They argued that the Legislature had been within its rights to expand voting rights and criticized Mr. Hilgers and Mr. Evnen for injecting confusion and uncertainty into the registration process just before an election.

☆ Emboldened by Success in Other Red States, Effort Launched to Protect Abortion Rights in Nebraska
  + stars: | 2023-11-15 | by ( Associated Press | Nov. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +4 min
(AP) — An effort to enshrine abortion rights in the Nebraska Constitution is being launched, following on the heels of successful efforts in other reds states where Republicans had enacted or sought abortion restrictions. Protect Our Rights, the coalition behind the effort, submitted proposed petition language to the Nebraska Secretary of State's office late last month. That's proving consistent in other states where voters have backed abortion rights — including in Ohio, where voters last week resoundingly approved an amendment to the state constitution to protect abortion access. Paige Brown, a spokesperson for the Nebraska Catholic Conference that has lobbied hard for abortion restrictions, telegraphed that abortion opponents are aware of the public pushback. Ashley All, who helped lead the effort in Kansas to protect abortion rights, echoed that warning, noting Kansas voters rejected that state's anti-abortion effort by nearly 20 percentage points.
