On Thursday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Nevada Gov.-elect Aaron Ford (D) said that he would sign legislation to undercut the “based in racist underpinnings” Electoral College by pledging the state’s votes to the winner of the popular vote.
Guest host Jonathan Capehart asked, “The New Republic reports ‘Nevada’s incoming Democratic Gov.’ — that’s you — ‘wants to negate the Electoral College. Aaron Ford said Wednesday that he thinks the state should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an agreement where member states give their electoral votes in every presidential election to whoever wins the national popular vote.’ Gov.-elect, do you think getting that done before the 2028 presidential election is a real possibility?”
Ford answered, “Well, if it gets to my desk, I’m going to sign it. I’ve made it clear that my number one focus is on affordability, but we can walk and chew gum at the same time. The Electoral College has resulted in two people who have won the popular vote not being our president, and we know that it also has its base in slavery, and it’s based in racist underpinnings that we should no longer be touting. And so, I would certainly sign a bill that would assign our votes to he or she who wins the popular vote.”

Do the ‘Rats say these things because they are ignorant, or are they pretending to be?
Good luck.
Smaller states opted to join the Union based in part on their guaranteed representation in the Electoral College. If the Electoral College is done away with, then the initial agreement regarding joining the Union should be considered invalid; and states that wish should be allowed to leave the Union
Since the DemonRats figured how to take Texas they no longer need to nix the EC. There is no sense in fighting this meaningless battle since they won the war.
A communist cretin black supremacist! “It’s not racism when we do it!” Just Us, not justice!
As an American of color I learned a long time ago that the people who openly call out others as racists are almost always the true racists themselves.
It is the pathway to dictatorship.
They call it the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It’s a conspiracy of states to bypass the Electoral College and award the winner of the popular vote with their electoral votes. So far states with 222 votes have signed on. They need 48 more to get to 270 which would theoretically be enough to win the presidential election. That would render at least 40 states completely irrelevant. This would surely be challenged in the Supreme Court but democrats have a history of ignoring any law or Constitutional law that they disagree with.
Roger that.

They’re just telling us exactly what they’re going to do the first chance they get.
I believe them. The problem is that fools like GOP Sen. Thune don’t.
They almost have enough senators.
The electoral college is none of your FN business azho. Just worry about cleaning up the big bucks from the mafia. The electoral college will take care of itself. If you had taken Civics in high school, your retarded political rat’s ass would know why we have an electoral college. Go get a diploma, MORON!
No, what they want is the few heavily populated cities and states to run the country.
Make Nevada Nevada again.
Rename the Hoover Dam to Boulder Dam.
Then tear it down.
I think a lot of them are ignorant. I hear people all the time who don’t seem to understand what the Electoral College protects.
They’ll have to experience mob rule before they get it.
Isn’t the Democrat Party “based in racist underpinnings?”
Governor wants to erase his own states rights.
How does this lower the cost of gas?
