Moments ago, Nebraska lawmakers voted 32-15 to end the death penalty!
Repeal opponents attempted to kill the bill with a filibuster, but proponents mounted enough support to move the bill to the Governor. If he vetoes the bill – as he has promised – supporters need to hold every vote to override it.
