Can't shake (conspiratorial) belief Gov. Jim Pillen pushed so hard for Osborne this time because the last inductee to the Nebraska Hall of Fame was Malcolm X and Pillen got "mogged," as the kids might say, by former Sen. Ernie Chambers at the ceremony. journalstar.com/news/local/a...
Wednesday also was declared as Malcolm X Day by Gov. Jim Pillen, who read a proclamation inducting Malcolm X into the Nebraska Hall of Fame and directing Nebraskans to recognize his achievements.

Chambers, who will turn 88 in July, wasn't included in Wednesday's program, but he took to the podium to celebrate the occasion and point out that he never thought the day would come when Nebraska would recognize Malcolm X's life and contributions.

"I never thought I'd live long enough to see a white, conservative Republican governor from a white, conservative Republican state like Nebraska participate in the induction of Malcolm X," Chambers said.

A graphic reminder about signing a vote-by-mail envelope, with a party logo at the top and a photo of a brown mailing envelope at the bottom with an arrow pointing to the signature area.

At the top center is a circular logo that says:
DOUGLAS COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Main text in the middle says:
Don’t forget to sign the back of your vote-by-mail envelope!

Two button-style options below the message say:
Okay!
I Got It

At the bottom is a brown envelope with a blue arrow pointing to a highlighted area on the right side. The small printed text on the envelope is mostly too small/blurry to transcribe accurately, but the highlighted area includes:
