Supporters of the national popular vote say that instead of presidential campaigns focusing on a few battleground states (as they say the case is with the Electoral College), a national popular vote would force candidates to campaign across the entire nation. […]Why bother? Brandon didn't have to campaign at all and still "won the popular vote" by 5 million.

They will say that those elected are responsible for defending the minority from the majority.
We know this will only happen selectively.

It is a waiting game with them. They only need one mistake to come up the middle, like they did with Pennsylvania.

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Well thank goodness we’re going to do the same. I’ll believe republicans want to win when we begin “souls to the polls” on early Sunday voting. Until then democrats will keep hauling their voters to vote on Sunday with BBQ enticements.

Legally speaking, the Electoral College is written into the Constitution and requires an amendment to remove it and that is not going to happen.

Compacts among the states are specifically prohibited by the Constituion. Not that that really matters to them.
To: Olog-hai
Politics, at least the kind that involves voting, has division as its purpose.
When they vote in the House of Commons, Mr. Speaker announces, “the House will divide, ayes to the right, nays to the left”.
The accusation that by opposing the Left we are “divisive” is nonsense. Of course we are - that’s the whole point.

The simple solution is to make the process even more constitutional, ala, award EV by congressional districts which is what the EV are based on. You eliminate vote fraud for a generation. Negate the concentration of the masses and solve the dems faux problem of making candidates campaign everwhere. The vote count winner gets the 2 EVs for the senate seats. Candidates have to win the majority of congressional districts so they cant run up the totals in big cities. Everyones vote will have even more weight. The poor few conservative folks in CA would actually have a vote that matters in the conservative part of their state. Nebraska and Maine already do this. It isn’t unheard of. 3 of Maines votes go to the dem but sometimes the R gets the 4. Just like sometimes the dems win 1 district in Nebraska, so the dem prez would get 1 electoral vote.

We obviously haven’t learned anything from the MISTAKE that is the 17th Amendment.
Giving more power to a mob never improves anything.

Today SCOTUS considers Brunson II for further action. This case goes after the members of Congress who voted against investigating why multiple states sent multiple slates of electors to the Electoral College.
If successful, every member who voted against investigation will lose their office and right to hold office ever again.

action pending in an additional six states, including Florida and Texas, I can't speak for Florida, but Texas will not sign on to the national popular vote interstate compact. Our state legislature is very red, and will remain that way. Additionally, this compact seems to be Anti-Constitutional on its face, so there will be many legal challenges before it would actually be implemented. And with the Democrats having their vote scamming systems in place and working, do they really need to do this anymore?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Supporters of the national popular vote say that instead of presidential campaigns focusing on a few battleground states (as they say the case is with the Electoral College), a national popular vote would force candidates to campaign across the entire nation. […] This is exactly why those running for President have to campaign across the entire country today - the Electoral College. Otherwise, they'd campaign in California, New York, and Illinois - and the rest of the country would be told to STFU and EABOD.
