“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again—or just hide your idea in a giant piece of legislation, where you hope it won’t get noticed.

The National Popular Vote campaign hopes that Minnesota voters won’t see its sneaky maneuver until it’s too late.
……
This year, National Popular Vote is trying something new in Minnesota. Its compact has been introduced as standalone legislation, just as it normally is.

Meanwhile, the compact also has been hidden in an omnibus elections bill.

National Popular Vote’s website faithfully reports the status of the standalone legislation, but makes no mention of the omnibus bill.

Unsurprisingly, the former seems stalled. Meanwhile, the omnibus bill is making steady progress.
……
To date, 12 states plus the District of Columbia have signed on to the group’s proposed compact. Delaware’s governor will sign National Popular Vote’s bill on Thursday. New Mexico’s governor could sign similar legislation at any time.

Taken together, these states contribute 189 electors to National Popular Vote’s cause. So far, only blue states have approved the measure. The compact needs only 81 more electors (270 total) to go into effect…”

The children in charge in this state have been getting their asses handed to them on several bills and when they don't get their way they pull this shit.

They reacted the same way when the Red Flag and Universal Background check bills stalled as soon as they hit the Republican controlled Senate. They are now trying to bury them into the budget so that they can force the hands of the Republicans into accepting some of the stuff to get the budget passed.

It's really tough to get rid of these fools because the majority of the counties in the state vote Republican but the metro areas are so big and full of lefties that we can't get the votes to get them out.

If you try and call or write the Dems with your opinion it falls on deaf ears. I've even received responses that basically say I don't care what you think, you are wrong and we will do what we want.

Keep fighting this crap.

We just got it shoved down our throat without a vote here in CO.

We try the best we can. I think they are trying to push this crap through because in 2016 Hillary only received about 45,000 more votes than Trump and I'm sure they are scared it won't go their way again so they now have to change the rules.

If the rules are changed, candidates (the smart ones anyway) will change the way they campaign.
Hillary and the Democrats lost because she wasn't smart enough to play by the rules and focused on total votes.
I see it as a good thing to have them focusing on the wrong stuff.

LOL Next election 2020 Trump will win BOTH the electoral college and popular vote and the democrats will again cry foul play. God Bless
