As you are enjoying watching & listening to the demented mess that is the Democrat Party’s presidential candidate, don’t forget that there are Democrats with healthy brains still scheming to destroy our Constitutional Republic. One such scheme is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPV).
Seventeen states, ALL run by Democrats, plus the District of Columbia, have signed onto the NPV throwing future presidential elections into more chaos than in 2020. Democrats are trying to wipe out the Electoral College without going through the amendment process.* Since Donald beat Hillary, nine states have signed onto this backdoor method of subverting the US Constitution. Election deniers, all!
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE INTERSTATE COMPACT?
It is not a law, nor a regulation, nor a court decision, nor a ballot measure voted on by Americans. States that sign the NPV contract agree that they will completely ignore, yes I said ignore, how their citizens voted in the presidential election in their state, and give all their state’s Electoral College Votes to whichever candidate gets the most votes nationwide. In theory, this could be a Republican candidate, but the Democrats who devised this scheme believe this will produce wins only for Democrat presidential candidates for all eternity.
The Democrats hope to have enough states signed onto the NPV contract in time to throw the 2028 presidential election into a constitutional crisis which will then go to the US Supreme Court to determine who won the election. This is one reason they are so desperate to keep a dementia patient in the White House: so they can add two more Marxists to the court.
The NPV contract is an end run around the amendment process of the US Constitution, and thus is totally unconstitutional. The Democrats, Progressives, Marxists who put together this scheme are not ignorant. They know it is unconstitutional; but, they believe that the US Supreme Court will be owned by Progressives & Marxists by 2028 and will rule in their favor. Indeed, Biden has already placed one avowed Marxist on the court, Justice Jackson, who has clearly stated she does not approve of Freedom of Speech and Press in the First Amendment.
NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE AMENDMENT
A TRUE national popular vote for president is rather simple. State lines are ignored. The Electoral College section of the US Constitution is repealed. All votes across the country are collectively added up, and the candidate with the most votes wins, even if it is less than 50%, such as the 1992 election when Bill Clinton was elected with only 47% of the vote.
To repeal the Electoral College section of the constitution requires an amendment. Several such proposals have been introduced by Democrats in Congress over the decades. All these efforts failed. An amendment must pass in both the US House & US Senate by a two-thirds vote and then it must be ratified by three-fourths of the states, that is, 38 states.** Democrats know this will never happen because they don’t own 38 states, so they are trying to make an end run around the CONSTITUTION.
DEMS DO NOT WANT A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
When was the last time power-mad Democrats followed our constitution? They have spent the last 50+ years undermining it, with great success. Indeed, it could be said that the Biden Regime has done the most damage to our Constitutional Rights than any other administration. Remember when we had total freedom of speech? Can you find “thought crimes” in the US Constitution?
And what about permits required to bear arms? THAT is not in the constitution. Remember when Americans could freely exercise their faith? Covid gave bullies the unconstitutional excuse to close church services. Is there anything in our constitution that says some people deserve more rights than others? No? Then why is the DC Swamp giving out tax dollars based upon skin color?
Despite our precious Bill of Rights, Americans are oppressed & controlled by rules & regulations written by unelected bureaucrats and promoted by Democrats, RINOs and sundry other totalitarians.
THE LEFT HAS ALWAYS CRAVED POWER & CONTROL OVER OTHERS
Why do Democrats believe this “compact” will help them win all future presidential elections? In theory, this could help the RNC as much as the DNC, right? But, theory is not real life.
In practice, Democrats and many others believe the high-population areas will choose all future presidents under the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Those are the areas that are packed with Democrat voters, many expecting Democrat politicians to give them more & better benefits at the expense of Americans living in the rest of the country. Indeed, most states that have adopted the NPV Compact are owned by Democrats, and have been for decades.^^
IT ALL BEGAN IN 2000
Narcissistic Democrats have been seething ever since George W. Bush beat Bill Clinton’s Vice President, Al Gore, in the 2000 presidential election.^ And they have been scheming, too.
With Trump’s win in 2016 Democrats and some RINOs went stark-raving mad. Four days after Trump’s win, New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, was so incensed that he issued a press release promoting the NPV Compact which he had signed in April 2014. Since the 2016 election, nine states have signed onto this backdoor method of subverting the US Constitution. Election deniers, all!
When the NPV states add up to 270 Electoral Votes, the Democrats believe that they will never lose a presidential election again. With last year’s addition of Nevada and Minnesota, they currently have 209.^^
IS THIS SCHEME CONSTITUTIONAL?
Constitutional scholars question that this scheme would pass constitutional muster. Regardless, the first presidential election that involves this “Interstate Compact” will be thrown into the courts and it will be weeks before a president-elect is declared, repeating the chaos created by Democrats in 2000.^
Will the US Supreme Court need to step in again to prevent the Democrats from stealing the 2028 presidential election?^^ Perhaps the better question is: will they step in or will they allow the Democrats to steal the presidency in 2028 like they did in 2020?
You nailed it describing Democrats as outlaws. They ignore or abuse the Constitution, Bill of Rights and reject the Rule of Law like dedicated tyrannical communists do. SCOTUS decisions are ignored. Ideological opponents are denied due process and charged with fabricated crimes, including "thought" crimes -- all of which the Democrats’ corporate mainstream media propaganda partners support by ignoring these human rights abuses. Social media platforms are co-opted by the nation's intelligence services to cull, ban and censor free speech opposing the Democrats' symbiotic grip it shares with their corrupt government partners. The Marxist, war mongering, anti-Semitic outlaws managing Joe Biden's corrupt administration have signaled they need only a warm body to act as president, a puppet willing to sign Executive Orders and legislation that will further tighten the Democrats’ grip on power. Perhaps you may agree that a younger, more energetic, cackling Kamala Harris fits that bill -- perfectly.
This initiative is sooo corrupt and evil. We all need to pressure our legislatures to get out of it if your state is in it.
