National Popular Vote Bill Advances To Michigan House
Excerpt:
A committee of Michigan lawmakers voted Tuesday to enroll the state in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. By a vote of 6-2, the House Elections Committee approved House Bill 4156.
The compact will take effect when signed on by states with a combined 270 or more electoral votes, enough to elect the president. When Minnesota joined the compact last month, it reached 205 electoral votes. With Michigan’s 15, it would reach 220.
Currently, the winner of the Michigan vote tally gets Michigan’s 15 electoral votes. That would change under the National Popular Vote plan, as a candidate could lose Michigan but still be awarded its votes — all based on a noncertified result.
Read it for yourself: House Bill 4156 of 2023: The National Popular Vote bill
There is no official count of a national popular vote, nor is there any federal agency authorized to produce one. This bill empowers secretaries of state in National Popular Vote states not only to read their own election results but to determine the “popular vote” winner among 50 states.
The relevant portion of the bill reads:
Prior to the time set by law for the meeting and voting by the presidential electors, the chief election official of each member state shall determine the number of votes for each presidential slate in each State of the United States and in the District of Columbia in which votes have been cast in a statewide popular election and shall add such votes together to produce a “national popular vote total” for each presidential slate.
The words “shall determine,” and the lack of a certified result, mean the judgments of secretaries of state would be subjective. Secretaries of state would choose the president.
The candidate they deem the winner would get all 270-plus electoral votes from compact states. A plan that presents itself as an alternative to the winner-takes-all system would only accelerate it. With a victory margin of one vote, a candidate would be awarded a bloc of 270 votes, regardless of the vote tallies in each state.
As the House Fiscal Agency analysis notes, only in the event of a tie — a nationwide tie — would the Michigan vote tally be the deciding factor.
The analysis reads:
In the case of a tie for the national popular vote winner, each member state would appoint electors pledged to the candidate that won the popular vote in that state. (This is the “winner takes all” system currently used by most states).
Even the National Popular Vote initiative affirms the value of a winner-take-all system by reverting to it in the event of a tie.
The Mackinac Center has testified against House Bill 4156.

The enemy is trying to turn our constitutional republic into a democracy aka tyranny of the majority. If you are a Michigan resident contact your reps even the dems. Here’s some dems that won their seat by a slim margin and are not sponsoring this. Contact them and let them know what you think.
Please, get on the phone and send emails to every Republican in the state house, NPV will take away your voice in presidential elections!
NPV will allow the Secretary of State to decide who gets Michigan’s electoral votes, they can even give the electoral votes to the candidate who LOST!!
Many democrats won their district by a very slim margin, they are at risk, those democrats need to hear from YOU!!

“Tony Montana”, Brother Of Nemesio Oseguera, “El Mencho” Seeks To Reverse Extradition To The U.S.
Translated excerpt:
The United States is seeking to bring Antonio Oseguera Cervantes before a District Court in the District of Columbia on charges of international drug trafficking and weapons possession.
MEXICO CITY (proceso.com.mx) - Antonio Oseguera Cervantes, “Tony Montana,” brother of Jalisco Cartel - New Generation leader Nemesio Oseguera, “El Mencho,” is seeking to overturn the extradition request filed against him by the U.S. government.
Oseguera Cervantes’ lawsuit was sent to the Third District Judge for Amparo and Federal Trials in the State of Mexico, Everardo Maya Arias, who declared himself incompetent to hear the amparo and ordered the file to be returned to the Twelfth District Judge in Mexico City.
According to the courts, the United States is seeking to bring “Mencho’s” brother before a District Court in the District of Columbia for the crimes of international drug trafficking and arms possession.
Last January, the U.S. Department of Justice filed indictments against Antonio Oseguera Cervantes for international trafficking of cocaine and methamphetamine, as well as possession of weapons to commit drug trafficking.
In the U.S. indictment, Oseguera Cervantes is charged with allegedly conspiring to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine and more than 500 grams of methamphetamine since January 1998.
The U.S. government considers him to be a high-level member of the CJNG, in charge of money laundering and international drug trafficking activities.
Through diplomatic note 16-0682, the US State Department formally requested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) to hand over Antonio Oseguera Cervantes, “Tony Montana”, arrested by the Army and the National Guard in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Jalisco, in December of last year.

Mexico hasn’t extradited Ovidio, El Chapo’s son, and given that FJB is a laughing stock in this hemisphere don’t hold your breath waiting for this extradition to be honored.
