So Nebraska doesn't have early voting anymore?

We do have mail in but you need to get a ballot before now. I always go vote after work but a conflict with that has come up so I'll have to take an hour of pto and go before work, which is annoying! Anyway just wondering when we got rid of early voting because I know I've done it in the past.

My understanding is that you can get an early voting ballot. Has to be 120 days before the election. I wish we could get Fischer out of the Senate, but that's not going to happen.

Although Don Bacon is definitely the favorite. All our other candidates will do well to crack 35%. Krist and Raybold have no chance. I haven't seen a single ad for Krist anywhere. I wish we would have nominated Tyler Davis. He wouldn't win either but at least he would have thrown some punches. I haven't seen a Raybold ad except she ran a grocery store or something.
