Nebraska Democrats Challenge New Party | Lincoln News

Nebraska Democrats and the Working Families Party are suing to block the state from certifying a new party, the Working People Party, accusing it of being a deceptive maneuver designed to confuse voters and help Republican Senator Pete Ricketts win reelection. The lawsuit claims the name mimics the Working Families Party and echoes an independent candidate’s slogan, with evidence suggesting paid petitioners admitted the goal was to steal Democratic votes. The NDP chair calls it a “con job” funded by dark money, and the Democrats are demanding a court order to halt recognition while the legal battle continues.
