Why National Popular Vote is a bad idea

via Rhonda Deniston The left has found a way to destroy our Republic, by changing the way we vote. 9 states have already signed onto the National Popular Vote (NPV), ironically all Democrat populated states, all they need is enough states to sign on to the NPV to acquire the 270 votes need to win the presidency and change America forever. Beware of the NPV it is not what they sell it to be, it is dishonest and deceitful, just ask Mexico it is their system used for elections, it by-passes the constitution, strips states voting rights and sets up for a system of a one party rule. Learn about it before it is too late!

Moving quietly under the cover of the presidential debates and the enormous publicity given to the Republican nomination race is a plan to change how U.S. presidents are elected. It would bypass the procedure spelled out in the U.S. Constitution, which has been used successfully for over two centuries.
The Constitution prescribes how we elect our presidents. It is a mirror image of the Great Compromise. Designed by the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the Great Compromise brought together the large and small states by means of a national Congress, with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate based on state sovereignty.

Likewise, when the presidential electors meet in gatherings known as the Electoral College, each state’s vote is equal to the sum of its House and Senate representation in Congress. Our Founding Fathers understood that America is a nation of both “we the people” and a federal system of states, so it allows all states, regardless of size, to be players in electing our president.
The plan to change this system is called the National Popular Vote. It obviously has a lot of money behind it because it is sending highly paid lobbyists around the country to persuade state legislatures to adopt the NPV plan.
NPV is an attempt to achieve the longtime liberal goal of getting rid of the Electoral College. Instead of proposing an amendment that would first need to be passed by Congress and then ratified by three-fourths of the states (38), NPV is a scheme to deviously bypass the grand design of our U.S. Constitution.
