LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska voters have approved a ban on government-sponsored affirmative action.

The constitutional amendment approved Tuesday bars bar state and local governments from giving preferential treatment to people on the basis of race, sex, ethnicity or national origin.

California, Michigan and Washington already have similar bans. Colorado voters were deciding another such initiative Tuesday.

A pending lawsuit in a Nebraska court could derail the ban. It challenges the validity of signatures that put the question to a vote.

Guess it's time for this eh?
