@TomStark913 As Saul has indicated, the Achilles heel of a CoS is the grifters who would co-opt it for their purposes.Don't kid yourself, they're prepared.Here's one analysis of how these "grass roots" efforts fail:http://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=16880

@TomStark913 Think 37 states won't enter into the National Popular Vote movement?We'll see ...

@Debradelai @TomStark913 Your point was that the CoS would be co-opted.His point was the 3/4 ratification process would prevent mischief.My point is the NPV adoption is steadily progressing, and may cross the 3/4 "barrier,"disproving his point.

@Lonestar Brad Parscale gets the data. If he states numbers, they are probably reliable.https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2019/03/34-at-trumps-michigan-rally-were.htmlhttps://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/11/16/trump_digital_director_brad_parscale_explains_data_that_led_to_victory_on_kelly_file.html

@Debradelai @TomStark913 Agreed.The NPV plan is triggered at 270 EV, not 3/4 of the states.Which is probably why they are trying it.Of course, there will be the inevitable legal challenge.What will be interesting is whether there will be an impact on the 2020 results.

@Dawnz It was a courtesy in the Senate to respect "blue slip" notices from home state senators re judicial nominees.Reid nuked the filibuster, McConnell nuked the blue slips.The Senate is less "cordial" these days.At least they're not back to beating with canes ... or calling for duels.

@TomStark913 @Debradelai Saul's point about the states determining their electors is true, of course.Earlier, I linked to https://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_A2Sec1.html.I was calling attention to the NPV effort because the rapid progress indicates an organized effort to get it passed.My point was that folks who have the resources to mount such an effort could also devote them to co-opting a CoS.The willingness of so many state legislatures to adopt NPV indicates the 3/4 ratification firewall might not hold.

@Dawnz @Lonestar Put 'em on pay-per-view, and use that to pay off the national debt. 👍

@Debradelai True enough.You haven't lost your enthusiasm for ad hominem, though.

@tamara @hnijohnmiller I read it.Perhaps he will develop an appreciation for the generation that had to cope with Viet Nam.
