Campaign Staff Attempt to Dissolve Rival Party | Lincoln News
Description
Two staffers from Dan Osborn’s Senate campaign secretly joined Nebraska’s Legal Marijuana NOW Party to sabotage its nomination process, aiming to block a rival candidate from stepping in if they withdrew — a move designed to clear the path for Osborn’s independent run against Senator Pete Ricketts. The scheme, which included falsifying officer elections and attempting to dissolve the party in April 2025, backfired when the Secretary of State rejected the dissolution, citing lack of authority. Experts call it a textbook case of exploiting election rules to undermine third-party viability, even as Osborn’s team denies involvement.
