National Popular Vote is a Scheme to Undermine the Republic


Democrats are on a terror to find ways to win elections. They’ve successfully sued Republican controlled General Assemblies throughout the country forcing redistricting that’s favorable to their party. We’ve watched in horror as liberal precincts push their candidates over the top with last minute phantom ballots. And we’ve witnessed an attempted coup of a duly elected president by deep state embeds. 

The scheming never ends. Colorado’s governor signed into law that state’s participation in the National Popular Vote. This bill is a direct attack on our federalist principles. What Democrats want are urban populations ruling over the rest of us. This act is a direct violation of Article One, Section Ten which forbids a State to engage in alliances, confederations, agreements or compacts with other States. If these confederates reach their goal of 270 Electoral College votes, they should be sued for conspiring against our republic.

What’s worse, according to the law this fool just passed, Colorado’s popular vote is null and void if the national popular vote contradicts their outcome. This idiot just disenfranchised his voters and Electors. I guarantee you, this Democrat doesn’t care as long as his party gets the win.

Make no mistake, Democrats are a threat to the republic and this conspiracy is proof positive that they are mad for power.

States have the responsibility and constitutional power to make all of their voters relevant in every presidential election and beyond. Now 38 states and their voters are politically irrelevant in presidential elections.

Unable to agree on any particular method, the Founding Fathers left the choice of method for selecting presidential electors exclusively to the states by adopting the language contained in section 1 of Article II of the U.S. Constitution—
"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors . . ."
The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly characterized the authority of the state legislatures over the manner of awarding their electoral votes as "plenary" and "exclusive."

Federalism concerns the allocation of power between state governments and the national government. The National Popular Vote bill concerns how votes are tallied, not how much power state governments possess relative to the national government. The powers of state governments are neither increased nor decreased based on whether presidential electors are selected along the state boundary lines, or national lines (as with the National Popular Vote).

You're not making your constituents votes relevant if you let California and New York dictate who shall be president with national popular vote. The Electoral College was established to prevent this sort of outcome.

I will also state that this national popular vote scheme is designed for urban areas to steamroll over rural areas. People who live in large cities do not have the same values as those people who live in the country. This contention has been going on since before the founding.

If you truly believed in relevancy of the vote you'd advocate for states to adopt a proportional system like Nebraska and Maine.


A national popular vote will only alienate other states. If your looking for a civil war or dissolution of the union, I suggest you let degenerates in California and New York run the White House.

I would also like to say that Democrats do not believe in our federalist system. They are on a quest to centralize power and they do this by appointing liberal judges and expanding the administrative state. The proof is right before your eyes. Our constitution and federalist principles therein mean nothing to these people.

In total New York state and California cast 16% of the total national popular vote

In total, Florida, Texas, and Pennsylvania cast 18% of the total national popular vote.
Trump won those states.

And because of an urban power grab that happened with an unconstitutional ruling by the Supreme Court (Reynolds v. Sims) New York, California and Colorado are undergoing secession movements. Now, compound that with a National Popular Vote and we'll all be sitting on a powder keg.
