OMAHA – In-person voting on Tuesday was slow, very slow. However, mail-in voting made up the difference and more. Nebraska’s Secretary of State, Bob Enven, stated that “Nebraskans did not allow this pandemic to stop them from exercising their right to vote,” Evnen said “[Nebraskans] had opportunities to vote early by mail or at the polls. They selected the option they thought was best for them.”

According to the Omaha World Herald, “Nebraska voters may not have turned out in person, but they did by ballot. Evnen’s office received 441,000 requests for early ballots. About 336,000 were returned before Tuesday. More were expected to be picked up at ballot drop-off boxes.” The 35% turnout rate was significantly higher than the previous 27% set in 2006 with regard to primaries.
