Nebraska Dems Decide Senate Future | Lincoln News

Nebraska Democrats brace for a pivotal vote this week to decide whether to replace their withdrawn Senate nominee, Cindy Burbank, amid a legal battle sparked by primary loser William Forbes.

The judge has leaned toward the party, suggesting Forbes’ claims may raise constitutional hurdles.
