Waterloo for the National Popular Vote movement?

By J.R. Dunn

FTA:
One curious provision is that the compact does not go into effect until the number of electoral votes involved reaches 270 – a simple majority which would guarantee a candidate’s victory. The number of electoral votes controlled as of now is 189 – clearly, the promoters have been concentrating on large jurisdictions.

The compact has 81 votes to go, a circumstance that has caused some on the right to go into their customary “it’s all over… it’s too late… nothing can be done…” act. This is not surprising – many of them start screaming “it’s too late” every time there’s a loud noise. It has become a standard feature of the American political scene, like Mom, apple pie, and corruption in Chicago.

That was where it stood until the week before last, when on May 30 Gov. Steve Sisolak of Nevada vetoed the bill, which had been passed by the state senate nine days before. This action may very well break the momentum of the march to 270, marking the high tide of the Democrat’s latest attempt to subvert representative democracy.
