Nevada to join National Popular Vote compact

[Anathema]

Republicans have REFUSED to widen their tent........and this is the consequence; unless the GOP abandons its somewhat racist stance, a republican will only see the oval office as a tourist.

No. We will just move to using Bullets to express our political views rather than ballots.

The Nevada Senate approved Tuesday a National Popular Vote bill on a party-line vote, sending the legislation aimed at upending the Electoral College to the governor.

Assembly Bill 186, which passed the Senateon a 12-8 vote, would bring Nevada into the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an agreement between participating states to cast their electoral votes for the winner of the popular vote.

If signed as expected by Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak, Nevada would become the 16th jurisdiction to join the compact, along with 14 states and the District of Columbia. The compact would take effect after states totaling 270 electoral votes, and with Nevada, the total would reach 195.

Nevada Senate passes National Popular Vote bill on party-line vote

That’s 2 new states in less than 2 months. The NPV keeps chugging along.

Nevada is getting better and better. Now it also has a majority of women in its state legislature.

/——/ Nevada relegates itself to fly over country status.

Actually Nevada is becoming more and more non-competitive. In 10 years Republicans and Democrats will treat it like Kansas or Connecticut and ignore it because everyone would know where all it's electoral votes are going in the EC.

Oh, is that what were calling it? OK.

Let's go with your dodge then. Let's pretend you said "Most Americans also want a lower tax rate. Doesn't make it right". Remember that Republic thing you got wrong? Yeah, if we're talking about federal taxes, you don't vote on that. Who does you ask? Your representatives. Get it?

You do get to vote on it. Republicans are generally for lower taxes and Dems for higher taxes. Hence not one Democrat voted for lower taxes.

Republicans are not for lower taxes.

How do you explain the Tax cuts?

Oh for a moment there I thought you were serious.

Please tell me you aren't one of the dolts that thinks the majority of Americans didn't get a tax cut under Trump? LOL if you believed Biden.

No tax cut here....

This is about states electing a president, I honestly have no idea why you're having a conversation that started out with (paraphrasing) "Yeah, but what if people voted for 0% tax". I'm sorry dud, you're argument isn't really up to snuff here as it's not anywhere near associated with the topic of the thread.

My point is that the reasons these states are trying to change the rules is because some legislators are butthurt over the 2016 election. I think that’s a bad idea and sets a bad precedent. I also Believe that in general the Democrats have behaved terribly since then, calling people who voted for DJT as stupid, racist, etc. Just accept the loss and try to run a viable candidate in 2020. What’s next? Lowering the voting age to 16?...oh NVM

Oh, I see the name calling only went in one direction. Good grief. You keep starting this posts that go way, way off topic. I don't give two ***** what some SJW called you, ok?

In less than 20 years we've had the less popular guy win the election and in 2016 he lost by quite a bit. It's not "butthurt" to want the president to actually win an election. Not to mention Bush was a pretty dumb guy (I'm staying away from Trump here to not distract you) and thanks to him he went to war int he wrong country and it was executed very poorly and he left us with a financial mess. I personally trust the American people to mostly get it right, if only they were given the power and not this antiquated go between system we have now.

Me? No one would call me anything. People who live in Boston are not snowflakes. Bush still is pretty dumb. You trust American people to get it right? Such as giving Bernie Sanders millions of votes? The communist, Bernie Sanders. Or American people who voted in Tlaib and Omar? It is their right but "getting it right" is subjective.

Dan Crenshaw is better and more qualified than any Democrat IMO and hopefully runs is 2024.

I'm convinced you have ADHD.

Typical Leftist and their labels. You are the one who could not comprehend hyperbole. I am sure if I said the Patriots killed the Rams in the SB, you would have asked for death certificates of the Rams players. You need to chill with ad Hominems as you’re getting schooled here, Leftist.

Happy to compare resumes at any time. My point is that setting a precedent like this is bad. If HRC won, would the people still debate about the EC? Unlikely. They are doing so because they are butthurt over the 2016 election. That is the ultimate point. This behavior is purely reactionary.

without the EC presidential candidates would only visit LA, NY, Miami, and Houston. Do we really want those 4 cities picking our presidents?

What do you do? I certainly got one.

 

[bodecea]

Can we all agree that the EC today is not what the Founders set up for two reasons: 1) no 3/5th persons counted any more; and 2) the cap on the House of Representatives at 435.....?

No argument there.

But, the intent was to maintain state sovereignty and prevent a large state like Virginia from using the power of the FedGov to figuratively beat the **** out of R.I.

Actually, it was more about making sure the slave states (except for Virginia which was one of the higher population states) would sign off on the Constitution....they wanted their slaves counted for representation but not taxation....the compromise was the 3/5ths.

[bodecea]

People will elect the President. Why are you perseverating on states as if they are people?

We will still be a republic.

No we wouldn't. You clearly don't understand the difference between a true democracy (mob rule and what you are advocating for) or our current system.

Yall can't make up your minds.....socialism, democracy, republic. Seems you change positions on the fly based on the subject at hand

Are we going to stop electing Senators and Representatives? No? Then it’s YOU who doesn’t know what a republic is. Every election but one is done by popular vote. If you don’t like this, pass an amendment taking away state’s right to allocate their electoral votes.

That's because the house and Senate have other protections and location specific guidelines ya moron.

name-calling again.

Cry me a river ya deplorable

name-calling again...interesting to see who's losing their cool in this thread....and who isn't.

If HRC won, no one would care. This is 100% reactionary

I haven't lost anything lol. You seem a bit triggered which is ironic after all the names your party, including you, have called us on the right.
When you and those who represent you come to the table like adults maybe we can ditch the insults.
Until then GO **** YOURSELF

I would bet that more Republicans would be for a popular vote if the same happened in reverse. However still a majority of the country prefers the popular vote, this is simply the next best thing.

One thing though, you go off topic a lot and seem to have a difficult time concentrating so I'm not sure my thoughts on you having ADHD are ad hominem.

Why?
There are 130 million voters

By the way, Presidential candidates only visit Miami because it is a swing state
LA, NY and Houston are givens

Most of the country prefers it because HRC lost and if it went the other way, I d rip the Republicans too. So, saying I had ADHD was a compliment? LOL
