OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — In the wake of a late early-voting surge in Omaha that delayed results in a congressional race, some election officials say Nebraska should consider adopting all mail-in voting like in Colorado, Oregon and Washington state.

Douglas County Election Commissioner Dave Phipps believes a mail-in system would not only save taxpayers money, it would have averted the problem his office had in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District race when thousands of voters either mailed in ballots or walking in to his office to vote Monday and Tuesday. Workers didn’t finish counting those ballots until Friday.

Sarpy County Election Commissioner Wayne Bena sees advantages to an all mail-in system. Bena says he’ll push for the Nebraska Legislature to conduct an interim study on conducting Nebraska elections.
