      Party registration is public information, but this doesn’t mean he voted Republican in the general election in Nov 2024. It may just mean he chose a Republican ballot in the primary.

        Wow, is that the case in all states? I have been a voter in 4 different states and I don’t recall ever hearing of this.

          I don’t know if all states. You can check for yourself. Google yourself by searching for your STATE and COUNTY “voter registration”. Find your county’s site. Enter your first name and last name to see your registration information. None of these show how you voted though. That is private. In some states you have to choose to register with a party to vote in their primary. So that can show up on this voter registration for party. I don’t know if Nebraska requires that though.

          Not all states. Fewer do this than don’t, IIRC.

      Quit painting with such a broad and obtuse brush, Omaha is perhaps the only blue portion of Nebraska.

        Yeah, but “plant owner” is an even more reliable indicator of political affiliation than geography.

    Absolute bullshit. Employees were told to show up to work that day or they’d be fired.
