Another update: Nebraska Family Alliance has a voters guide now.

Update: Voter Information Project has added write-in-candidate Robert Borer on their site. See https://www.voterinformation.org/races/general-2022/governor---/
So early voting is just about to begin in Nebraska. If we do it any sooner, your prenatal infant will be able to register to vote before exiting the birth canal to vote in the 2048 election. Anyways, here are resources you can share with family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers.
If you do not want to be surprised about some unexpected office up for election or are uncertain what district boundaries have shifted, go to the Douglas County Election Commissioner site at the link below and enter your house number and ZIP code and receive the list of candidates and issues to appear on your ballot. I highly recommend everyone do this as many boundaries have changed since the US Census of 2020. You can share this with family, friends, and neighbors. If you bring these sites up on your phone, you can use the share function to text it to whomever you want. https://www.votedouglascounty.com/ If you find a race where only Marxist Democrats are running, feel free to write in “Andrew Sullivan” as you don’t want to throw your vote away.
The Douglas County Republican Party has become stronger by just telling voters what candidates are a Republican. GOPBallot.com does the job and will refer you to DCRPballot.com, which is the actual site. I like this because there is always some office I forget about, such as Tom Flynn for County Clerk, John McCarthy for Metropolitan Community College, and Chris Tooker for Learning Community District 3. (Yes, Chris! We all know your name rhymes with looker!) There will be races to keep an eye on as well. I hope Mike McGowan beats out John McCollister for MUD Board District 6. Oh, and you can bring this site up on your smartphone in the voting booth! One recommended adjustment is to write in “Andrew Sullivan” for Secretary of State because election integrity matters, and drop boxes should not.

(Yes, a pickup truck with a chain can hall off with that box. Where are those cameras, Brian?)
Yet, there are ballot issues and candidate surveys which can help voters ask questions. The Voter Information Project has been doing very well in encouraging candidates to respond and gathering information on ballot issues. See their site at:
https://www.voterinformation.org/
However, some candidates refuse to respond to one survey but will for another so you can find a different set of responses at the League of Women Voters at https://www.lwvgo.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/General-2022-English-for-printing.pdf.
There is also the Nebraska Right to Life where conservative candidates responded and the Planned Parenthood endorsed candidates did not (https://reference.newslink.com/current-pubs/NRTL/NRTL_General_VG2208.pdf) Half the reason I post this, is it shows you who Planned Parenthood supports.
One flaw in all these voters guides is they tend to miss out on write-in candidates. Since many people know Robert Borer is running a write-in campaign for governor, I think it would be reasonable to request he respond to surveys and be listed as a candidate.
Finally, if you see any voting irregularities, report them to the County Sheriff’s office and also let True the Vote know as they are tracking election fraud. https://www.truethevote.org/report/
Also, if you do vote early or provisionally, you can check your ballot (partly) at https://www.votercheck.necvr.ne.gov/voterview
As for the Federal level, I am wondering if Congressman Don Bacon will win Douglas County. Many experts say it will be tough but Democrats appear to be in disarray and the non-partisan voters appear ready to throw Democrats out. As for the US Senate, the Senate Conservatives Fund is pushing these candidates who have a good chance of winning and helping Republicans take the US Senate. https://www.senateconservatives.com/#candidates
Also, Club for Growth is having a banner year for endorsing candidates, many in the House. Many of these races will be fun to watch. See https://www.clubforgrowth.org/elections/pac-endorsed-candidates/
