I guess it’s not such a great idea now that the future doesn’t belong to Democrats.
Last November, as the dust settled on the 2024 election, I wrote a piece outlining the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which fools were attempting to resurrect in Arizona – a state that has put forward Republican electors in all but two elections starting in 1952 (including the ridiculous 2020 result). From that article:
Allow me to explain the unconstitutional National Popular Vote Interstate Compact:
· It was first dreamed up when George W. Bush beat Al Gore in the 2000 Election, despite narrowly losing the “popular vote” (note: national popular vote is not described in the Constitution).
· The premise of the compact is that enacting states will award their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, but this only takes effect once enough jurisdictions to equal 270 electoral votes sign on to the compact.
· Currently, 209 electoral votes are accounted for, with 17 states and Washington, D.C., signed on to the NPVIC:
Signed on to NPVIC: California, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, Hawaii, Washington, D.C.
Here is how this block of states voted in the 2024 Election:
Kamala Harris 208 Electoral Votes
Donald Trump 1 Electoral Vote (Maine’s 2nd Congressional District)
69 more electoral votes, enough to surpass 270 if all states with pending legislation passed the NPVIC, are under consideration across the map in Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina.
So, a chunk of blue states, as shown by a 208 to 1 electoral split, want to get around the Electoral College? What could go wrong? Fortunately for Americans, and owing to the presidential popular vote victory last fall and evidence that may continue based on declining Democrat margins and voter registration numbers in blue strongholds, it appears Democrats may be catching wind that their popular vote power play may not last much longer – if it hasn’t gone extinct already.
Last month, the Maine House of Representatives, under Democrat control, voted to exit the NPVIC. Although this was primarily Republican led, it drew the support of three Democrats and two independents, successfully sending the bill (LD 252) to the Senate.
If current political trends persist, these shifts in presidential margin from 2020 to 2024 in just five key states show you why Democrats may be changing direction and suddenly backing the timeless Electoral College:
What arrogance.
Democrats assumed that they’d always win the popular vote.
Until recent events. The 20-80 party.
The Demo-Rats seem to think were Monarchy and their the Privileged class their the Peacocks sitting on the very top of the roost and were the Birds on the Very Bottom just typical of them all strutting around showing off themselves like they do
