The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
NPV is horrible, and constitutional.
With NPV and a couple of Scotus appointments, the rats won't have to worry about suspending elections in order to remain in power. They won't even have to shutdown debate, intimidate conservatives into silence, or sic the IRS, and FBI on their enemies.
Thanks in part to no opposition from the GOP, our descent into police state hell is happening within the limits of our Frankenstein Constitution, and is perfectly legal.
What I don't understand is the trust so many Freepers have in the GOP wing of the Uniparty. If the GOP can't share in power, they will happily settle for wealth. In fact, they probably prefer it that way.
The proper model for the EV would be to apportion the vote by the congressional district popular vote.
Since the EV is enumerated by the number of congress critters and senators, it makes sense to cast a vote for each congressional district, based on the popular vote in that district. And, then cast the two that represent the senators based on the popular of the State.
Anything else flies in the face of logic and a level playing field. As it stands, today, Ohio (for example) goes the way of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, and (too lesser extent) Dayton and Toledo. The big three, though, actually sway the vote for the entire state. A quick look at the vote map for the 2012 vote is quite telling. With an apportioned EV, we would not have this a$$clown in the white hut, today.
Latet anguis in herba.
Just wait until a democrat DOESN’T win a popular vote...
The moment this passes, we need to report a 16 million vote advantage out of Wyoming for the next Republican presidential candidate. Since the left tells us vote fraud is a non-issue, this shouldn’t be difficult.
The electoral college was a smart addition by the founders, but didn’t go far enough. I would favor a system that diluted the influence of cities - as they generally dilute out the representation of those not living in a major city. In a tangible way, the voters of the great urban areas dictate the type of government the rest of us live under.
The Elector Hunt Begins [Election 2000]
"One battle-tested Democratic consultant has even begun a quiet intelligence-gathering operation that could aid a last-ditch Gore strategy in the Electoral College. Bob Beckel, who managed Walter Mondale's 1984 Democratic presidential campaign and has close ties to [Warren] Christopher, has been checking into the background of Republican electors, with an eye toward persuading a handful of them to vote for Mr. Gore. If Mr. Bush eventually prevails in Florida but wins none other of the most closely contested states, he would have 271 electoral votes. Three GOP defections could make Mr. Gore president . . . The Gore camp itself has disavowed any intention of seeking to sway GOP electors."
Even Slate published stories about it. At least it made it that far into the MSM.
Well, that’s not what I read. TYVM HAND
