Just so nobody misunderstands me-this "National Popular Vote Interstate Compact" is another idiotic, corrupt Leftist construct like Ranked Choice Voting, and I was naturally concerned when I heard about this some years ago, and there were all these states in on it. Leftists assumed they would always have the popular vote locked up. (another dumb ass conclusion by Leftists)

They want to go to a popular election for reasons that should be clear to everyone by now. They hate the flyover states, and the Popular Vote is the way to negate them.

But I must say...it might almost have been worth it to have it enacted, just this once. Just once.

So we could thank those voters in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Maine, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and Hawaii for voting to put Donald Trump back in the White House as the 47th President!

Just this one time.

I thought of this issue last night. It deprives it of its main argument. Leftists never give up the thoughts they fixate on, so I think this just puts it in deep freeze for the next four years

Thank you!

Mrs rktman has a similar plan. That being, one county=one electoral vote. Kowmala will probably end up with PTSD from a double Jan 6 whammy. Remembrance of the ‘insurrection’ and having to certify Trump on Jan 6. Awwwwwwww!

Why isn’t this concept considered unconstitutional?

[SunkenCiv]

Exactly — if that gets passed by the required number of states, there will probably NEVER be a Demagogic Party POTUS EVER AGAIN. How do we contribute to the effort?

Wikipedia:

[snip] Introduced in 2006, as of April 2024, it has been adopted by seventeen states and the District of Columbia. These jurisdictions have 209 electoral votes, which is 39% of the Electoral College and 77% of the 270 votes needed to give the compact legal force. [/snip]

For one thing, nothing that doesn’t remove the 3 electoral votes from DC isn’t a reform (23rd Amendment was ratified in 1961).

This will end talk of the compact for 10 or 20 years.

As of this morning, Trump won over 51.1% of the popular vote. Since the only precincts still “counting votes” are democrat controlled, I expect that percentage to drop, but not enough to fall much below 51%.

The last democrat to get over 51% of the popular vote was Obama in 2008. Before Obama, the last democrat to get over 51% was LBJ in 1964. Before LBJ, the last democrat to get over 51% was FDR in 1944. Before FDR, the last democrat to get over 51% was Andrew Jackson in 1832.

Unintended consequences eventually come back to bite.

This is soooo stupid.

Was speaking of how Dems shoot themselves in the foot with out son. This is one idea (not realized yet) that would do exactly that.

Apparently these jackasses are so confident that Dems always win popular (which they have often) that this concept will help them overcome the hated electoral college.

I’ll have to remember this later to tell him.

Prime example was the Special Independent Counsel. They didn’t like it when it was turned on them.

The populations of five or six Democrat run cities hold the entire Republic hostage every four years.

It isn’t right.

[Robert DeLong]

Thanks for the post:

Love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Bon of Babble]

How does it look now Democrats?

1. End the Filibuster

2. Pack the Supreme Court (with 10 conservative justices!)

3. End the Electoral College and use the popular vote to elect POTUS.

So many tears this morning. What a great day!!

I think the guaranty clause gives the federal government authority to prevent states from enacting this stupidity.
