CW: uspol
From an article about electing the president by popular vote:
"The upside to the swing state system is that it forces national campaigns to focus on the diverse regional interests of places like Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Mexico instead of simply trying to appeal to the entire nation all at once."
So it's a *feature* of the current system that some states matter more than others?! Are you fucking kidding me?

End the Electoral College: Amendment, Compact, or Supreme Court? #politics #npvic #scotus #electoralcollege #politicalreform Could a Supreme Court case end the Electoral College? If not then maybe it's time to support the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

就很对啊 #选举人团 制度就是 #DEI for voting嘛，#NPVIC 提案那么难推就是红州一直在阻挠，祂们不是号称应该「倾听人民的声音」么，咋对于真正让每个人的选票平等对待的提案这么抗拒呢 -

In this video they explain what is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact , some of the key features are:
-It preserves the electoral college.
-It is fully allowed by the Constitution without an amendment.
-Ensures the popular vote winner becomes the president every time.
-It injects the fundamental principle of one person one vote into our presidential election. -
abolish the #ElectoralCollege with or without #Democrats.
take a few days off and then focus on the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact initiative #NPVIC

@TheConversationUS standard pitch: please support #NPVIC National Popular Vote Interstate Compact in your state legislature to give popular vote winner Electoral College votes, neutralize stupid EC #ElectoralCollege

是的，因为选举人团机制里每州固定两票的参议院议员票，使得选举人团票不再是选民规模的对照，人口小州的选民票对选举结果的影响远比大州选民票更重；而地理上的人口不均分布也给了政党操纵选区划分（#gerrymandering）来改变投票权重以影响投票结果的空子于是每年媒体们也会提醒大家「不是每个人的一票都是同等分量的」，比如
https://www.usatoday.com/story/graphics/2024/10/25/vote-electoral-power-database/75819787007/所以在不「推倒 #选举人团 机制（法治层面很难实现）」的前提下给选举制度打补丁的手段就弥足珍贵，比如 #NPVIC 协定，参与该协定的州会按照全国大选的普选票结果投出选举人团票，避免每每共和党候选人当选时选举人团票与普选票结果相悖的情况
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact但这样的协议必须要凑够足以拿下选举的270张选举人团票才会启动，因此实际落地仍遥遥无期

It’s that time of US election season to begin hand wringing over the #ElectoralCollege again. There have been three proposed constitutional amendments to eliminate it in the last 60 years, and public opinion generally favors removal, yet here we are still debating it. Why?
The fundamental problem is that the EC is un-amendable by design. The EC advantages smaller states, which have always outnumbered larger states and generally align politically. And the amendment process requires 3/4 of states to ratify. Even ignoring parties, the math just doesn’t work out, and it only gets harder every time the EC tips an election and becomes a partisan advantage. This is what makes the undemocraticness of the EC even more insidious — it’s untouchable from a constitutional standpoint.
That’s not to say we’re stuck with the EC as is. The #NPVIC remains tantalizingly close to coming into effect, and even with its problems, it has the potential to reshape the landscape by significantly weakening the arguments in favor of the EC. Until then, constitutional amendments are a nonstarter.

If you're annoyed that they're talking about an issue like fracking that few people outside of Pennsylvania care about, but not the fact that California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Nevada are literally on fire right now, support the #NationalPopularVoteInterstateCompact
#debate #NPVIC -
Reminder to the supermajority of Americans (about 71%) who don't live in #SwingStates (say, AZ, FL, GA, IA, MI, NC, NV, OH, PA, WI):
If we abolish the #ElectoralCollege — or if enough states vote up the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (#NPVIC) — then presidential candidates would try to appeal to the most voters in the country, not just those in swing states. They'd address issues that matter to the most voters nationwide, not just those in swing states.
-
Two states that have not yet joined the #NPVIC, Arizona and Ohio, allow for citizen-introduced ballot initiatives.
A ballpark campaign for putting the issue in front of voters in AZ and OH elections would have been $20 million. "That's Kyle Kuzma money."

The Electoral College is back in the discourse, with the GOP winning only one national popular vote since 1988.
Since 2006, the #NPVIC has been building state support, and it's 61 EC votes away. Minnesota joined in 2023, Maine in 2024, Nevada underway.

I am begging journalists to understand that as little as state presidential #polls matter, national polls matter even less, at least until 270 electoral votes worth of states enact the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
E.g. the percent of people in Massachusetts who plan on voting for each candidate has no bearing on the question of who's going to win. Our electoral votes will go to Harris, 100%.
Stop reporting national polls 2024 challenge.

I wrote a short essay on how the #ElectoralCollege is rigged for the #TwoPartySystem. It is set up so that a #ThirdParty candidate get ZERO electoral votes. In fact, a vote for a strong third-party candidate helps the other side win. I break down the mechanics of US Presidential #elections at https://www.facebook.com/thedavid.mfano/posts/pfbid02Vp4Y7tpPtYfwG7DVMCuhRBMhKsUiFm6Wcum6gTYvjRnTmGa4n2rdLRNCrwbKwVLXl

I'm critical of #JoeBiden, especially his policy w/ #Israel. At least 35,386 dead in #Gaza. HOWEVER in the #2024Election I still support #Biden. Because #DonaldTrump wld be MUCH worse!
I explain in a short essay about #Trump's #ForeignPolicy & "accomplishments" in office, Biden's accomplishments, the #ElectoralCollege & the #TwoPartySystem, the truth about #ThirdParty candidates, #NPVIC, & #RCV posted at https://www.facebook.com/thedavid.mfano/posts/pfbid02bxdG1qnwaoPa2awYgNCGQFKXwa8Ne4ybWbVkpwF8Q991Qs1uQnNScapHipHyLQjfl

This month, Maine passed a bill joining the #NPVIC, to award its Electoral College votes to the national popular vote winner. It's at 209 / 270 votes needed.
Michigan could be next, and if so the pact could be clinched with votes from NV, AZ, OH, and VA. I took a look at the map earlier this year for subscribers at @flaminghydra:

Big news: Maine joins the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact! The inter-state agreement now includes states with 209 electoral votes, and will come into effect when enough states join that include 270 votes. Making progress!

Kudos to #Maine for voting to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4596054-maine-joins-effort-to-elect-president-by-popular-vote-with-new-law/The #NPVIC is as close as we can come to repealing the #ElectoralCollege without a #ConstitutionalAmendment.

"Maine votes to join multi-state agreement to elect the president by popular vote"
It's not passed into law yet, but seems likely at this point.
This map shows a credible path to achieving 270 votes before the 2028 election. If you're in one of the blue states on this map, please write to your state legislators and governor!

Yes, however I believe the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NVPIC) is a much easier lift while accomplishing the same goal.#NPVIC
