[Freedom'sWorthIt]

This is an update to this thread N.C. Bill Seeks to Elect President by Popular Vote posted last night (from the Charlotte Observer) before the vote had been taken - recommending some grassroots lobbying to STOP the Democratic led NC Senate from passing this measure (the vote had been put off from Friday to Mondy night. Then WRAL printed the story AFTER the Senate PASSED this measure - but today this momentous vote was way down the News page at WRAL - in fact you had to ping the STATE stories and go to "more news" in order to find it!!! (They do NOT want North Carolinians to know about THESE shennanigans).

More info below re: who is sponsoring this nationwide push through the State Legislatures to overturn the electoral college.

Let's suppose this traversty passes. Then we have a 2004 redux, only the Dim flips 70,000 votes or so and narrowly wins Ohio, despite losing the popular vote nationwide.

Of course the Dems will sue to have the very laws they pass struck down as unconstitutional because they don't like the outcome.

Why these legislators would vote to surrender their state’s voters — and their votes — to the whims of California and New York is beyond me. This is being pushed by demagogues who have no knowlege of the Constitution, and why the Framers set up the electoral college in the first place.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Is there any good reason why a state with a small population would support this measure?

[sarasmom]

And some people I know actually wondered why I just couldn’t seem to adjust to the lifestyle, living in the very beautiful state of NC.

And does anyone think that Gov Easly won’t sign this into law?

BWAHAHA.

See my post 39 on yesterday's thread. Didn't know at that time what connection Soros had to this "movement" to eliminate the electoral college WITHOUT a Constitutional Amendment = but this stealthy effort has Hillary/Soros Stink all over it....and sure enough, it does.

John R Koza, co-founder of National PopularVote.com (I can no longer go to that website, my access is denied!) has this information about him at Wikipedia

i really think that this is unconstitutional!

[Paperdoll]

Well, there goes the ball game, folks. Do the voters have any say in these decisions, or are ALL the legislatures infiltrated by the Communists? There are no more Democrats, you know. They’ve all stepped over the line into Communism. We have lost so many freedoms, and are losing more of them each passing day. The courts are legislating us out of our private property, among other things. Are the people finally waking up?

[HamiltonJay]

The NC Senate just voted to completely ignore the vote and will of its own people... the people of NC should be storming the Senate chambers and dragging the people who voted for this through the streets.

[redgolum]

This movement was started a while ago, and has had massive funding.

[Texas Federalist]

So all the blue states and a few red states pass the law until 25 states do so. As long as the red states don’t pass the law, this is good for Republican candidates because their states are safe and they can, for example, swing New York by winning votes from Texas, but Dems cannot swing Texas by winning votes form New York.
