Nebraska’s New Parties Face Legal Hurdles | Lincoln News

Nebraska’s political scene is heating up as two new parties battle for ballot access, sparking a high-stakes legal showdown over names and voter confusion. The GOP accuses the America First Party of copying conservative branding and sabotaging elections, while Democrats claim the Nebraska Working People Party is too similar to the established Working Families Party. Secretary of State Bob Evnen’s conflicting rulings—rejecting one party but claiming the other’s objection deadline has passed—have drawn sharp legal pushback. Both parties’ attorneys argue the law is being twisted, insisting no one owns “America First” and only registered parties can file objections. With a court injunction delaying certification until August 20, the fate of these challengers hangs in the balance—watch this space.
