OMAHA — Democrats and blue-leaning voters in Douglas County are celebrating at least one more chance to win a single stray Electoral College vote in red-state Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District.
An Omaha group calling itself Blue Dot Energy and the Douglas County Democratic Party are organizing a gathering at Memorial Park on Oct. 20 aimed at creating a human “blue dot” of locals supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president.
Ryan Wilkins is co-founder of Blue Dot Energy, a Facebook group that supports maintaining Nebraska’s system of splitting its electoral votes by congressional district. His group has also promoted blue dot yard signs in the 2nd District.
