Constitutional Subversion Of Electoral College By Democrats Continues, Even After Trump's Landslide Victory
Constitutional Subversion Of Electoral College By Democrats Continues, Even After Trump's Landslide Victory
Blue States Push to Override the Electoral College, Shifting Focus to Popular Vote Instead
A Democrat-led bill getting little to no attention would guarantee a presidential win to the candidate who wins the popular vote in all 50 states.
The National Popular Vote bill has already been passed in 17 states and DC, amassing 209 electoral votes. If it gets 61 more electoral votes, it will go into effect.
Colorado, New Mexico, Delaware, and Oregon have been the latest states to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact - or NPV - as recently as 2019.
The NPV would see states going to the candidate that accrues the majority of the popular vote nationally instead of being awarded electoral college votes from winning popular vote in that state.
The bill was introduced in 2006, with Maryland and other Democrat states (New Jersey, Illinois, Hawaii, Washington, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, California, and Connecticut) pledging their electoral votes to the bill.
As of now, 72% of the needed total of electoral votes is attached to the NPV.
Once 270 electoral votes are attached to the NPV by the states joining the coalition, it would instantly go into effect - superseding the electoral college which is most often used as the voice of the silent majority.
However, with the results of the presidential election earlier this week, and Donald Trump receiving much more of the popular vote than Kamala Harris - is the NPV still something the Democrats want to push?
Furthermore, the electoral college is in place for a reason. If popular vote decided victory, blue states with larger populations like California, New York, Washington, Virginia, and Illinois would always decide the election.
By placing emphasis on the states with less population and giving them electoral votes ensures that every state has the potential to be included in deciding the winner of the presidency.
Looking at the advisory board behind the National Popular Vote bill speaks volumes more than I could ever detail in writing. Present on the NPV’s advisory board…
Al Franken
Michael Steele (Yes, that Michael Steele)
Janet Napolitano
Eric Holder
…among other less notable names.
It seems no matter which angle Democrats take to gain an unfair advantage and connive their way to victory, after Trump’s blowout win in even the popular vote in Tuesday’s election, they need to go back to the drawing board and find another way to cheat election results.
Whoever wrote this and the States that are attempting the NPV Bill are fools! Such laws by Congress or the State Legislatures are - UNCONSTITUTIONAL! As are the laws in Maine and Nebraska to allocate their "electoral votes" based on the proportion of votes each party receives in those states - which are - UNCONSTITUTIONAL! The electoral vote count based on the laws of those states can not be legally applied and are not so applied, when the Electoral College meets.
No act of Congress or of State Legislatures via a law, can amend the Constitution and its provisions for the Electoral College determining the President. They would need Congress to pass a Constitutional Amendment, or a Convention of the States to pass such an Amendment, and then 38 states would have to ratify such an Amendment to the Constitution.
They will never be able to achieve such ratification of 38 states! You people need to go back to high school and study the Constitution! What fools!!!
The Supremes would shitcan that crap in 5 minutes as unconstitutional, then go out for a beer.
