There has been a pact floating around for years as a go around for the EC. Now Dems have 21 states and DC.

No more EC, packed court, 1A and 2A in jeopardy.

Article II, section 1.

It is in the U.S. Constitution.

But I hear they want to do away with the Constitution also.

That and packing the court and making DC a state will be done when they win the presidency in the first month. There is nothing that can stop them now. Republicans F up and sat on their hands.

They are not going around shite. They are going through whatever is in the way.

Just sit back and let Jamie Raskin guide us.

The dumbasses here won't say that is what they want but that is what they got.

I wish the first use of their national popular vote pact is like a suicide pact where a non Democrat candidate gets a majority of the popular vote and they are forced to vote against their own candidate.

In their typical arrogance, Democrats never think that their policy changes will backfire on them. Until they do.

Let me break it down for you geniuses who keep referencing Article II as if it is some magical answer: the SC interprets the Constitution and if the two conservatives are replaced and they will be. The majority of the court will be liberal. They will simply rule the EC and any other inconveniences in the Constitution as unconstitutional. Who would stop them and where would there be any recourse or consequences? No one, that isn’t difficult to understand and Article II would be nothing more than old words on an old document. The American voter shite the bed

What the Dem are talking about is a go around. Have states agree to give their voting sovereignty to the national popular vote winner. 18 states and DC has already pledged. This was done long before Tuesday.

Yes!

quote:

With Democratic victories in state legislatures and governorships across the country Tuesday, the Electoral College could now be in jeopardy—even without a near-impossible constitutional amendment. If passed by enough states, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact would effectively nullify the Electoral College and, with it, the possibility of a candidate being elected president without winning the popular vote. Since the compact was introduced in 2006, 19 states have passed it, agreeing to assign their electoral votes to whichever candidate wins the national popular vote. That amounts to 222 of the 270 electoral votes that a candidate needs to win the presidential election.

Do you really think people who vote for communists who openly tell us all they want to destroy the country, because their gas prices are high give two ####s about the Electoral College or anything else? They'd kneel to Mecca 5 times a day for $3 gas.

They wont need a work around if they win the WH in 2028. They'll just add however many SC justices it takes to rule the electoral college unconstitutional and then we will all live under the rule of whoever California elects every year.

California will be able to pump 75 million completely unverified votes into the national count every year thus making what anyone else wants irrelevant.

California hasn't gone no voter ID because it really matters in its own elections. Its done so because once the EC is gone it can manufacture as many votes as the Dems need to win every popular vote election forever.

Then why haven’t they done it? Several states in this pact that went blue in 2024 didn’t give theirs to Trump

Because they know the current SC would slap them down. They are still in the laying the groundwork phase and the muh gas morons just handed them a bunch of formerly red states they probably thought would take decades to get onboard, if ever. You will be hearing a lot more about this once these newly commie states ratify this next year, and they will.

Everything is on the table with these jackals. Oh, except “affordability”.
