(WOWT) - Voters in Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District have been casting their votes to decide whether to send a Democrat or a Republican to Washington, D.C., to serve out the remaining days of the former representative’s term.

Jeff Fortenberry resigned his Congressional seat after a jury found him guilty of lying to the FBI. On the same day his replacement will be selected, he was sentenced Tuesday to probation and a $25,000 fine.

The state’s top Republicans chose State Sen. Mike Flood as their candidate for the special election. Flood has said his top priority for the term was to help Nebraskans suffering from high gas and grocery prices

Nebraska’s top Democrats selected State Sen. Patty Pansing Brooks as their candidate for the office. In the lead-up to Tuesday, she said she believes the election is all about Nebraskans’ right to privacy after the Supreme Court struck down abortion rights.

1. Im sure theres much more too it, but that looks very promising

looking over the results from the past 20 years, that is the best a democrat has done in that district. By a decent margin. If somehow that swing were to carry over to every district in the midterms.. democrats would have a VERY good election.

2. Totally agree. That swing is at this point in time with more hard data about the Insurrectionists

coming out nearly every day.
