CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 13, 2023
WHILE MUCH OF THE COUNTRY IS FOCUSED ON DONALD TRUMP’S INDICTMENT, SOMETHING ELSE IS HAPPENING WITH EVEN MORE SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS FOR TRANSFORMING AMERICA INTO A ONE-PARTY COUNTRY, CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS.
THE GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA HAS SIGNED LEGISLATION THAT WOULD AWARD THE STATE’S 10 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS TO THE NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE WINNER EVEN IF THE CANDIDATE LOST IN MINNESOTA. THE NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE INTERSTATE COMPACT PURPORTS TO TAKE EFFECT ONCE STATES CARRYING 270 ELECTORAL VOTES – THE MINIMUM NEEDED TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY – HAVE AGREED TO ITS TERMS. THE GOAL IS TO REPLACE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE WITHOUT AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION.
SIXTEEN STATES AND WASHINGTON, D.C. CONTROLLING 205 ELECTORAL VOTES, ARE NOW PARTIES TO THE COMPACT.
IF MICHIGAN, ALSO RUN BY DEMOCRATS, ENACTS SIMILAR LEGISLATION, COMPACT MEMBER STATES WOULD CONTROL 220 ELECTORAL VOTES.
DEMOCRATS WANT TO ELIMINATE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE AND RELY ON THE POPULAR VOTE WHICH FAVORS THEM BECAUSE BIG STATES ARE CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS. THIS IS WHAT THE FOUNDERS SOUGHT TO AVOID BY SPREADING ELECTORAL POWER NATIONWIDE. THE SUPREME COURT MUST STOP THIS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
