1. A survey of 800 Nebraska voters conducted on December 22-23, 2008 showed 74% overall support for a national popular vote for President.

   In a follow-up question presenting a three-way choice among various methods of awarding Nebraska’s electoral votes,

   * 60% favored a national popular vote;
   * 28% favored Nebraska’s current system of awarding its electoral votes by congressional district; and
   * 13% favored the statewide winner-take-all system (i.e., awarding all of Nebraska’s electoral votes to the candidate who receives the most votes statewide).

   When presented with the basic question of a national popular vote, support for a national popular vote was, by political affiliation, 79% among Democrats, 70% among Republicans, and 75% among Others.

   By congressional district, support for a national popular vote was 77% in the First congressional district, 68% in the Second district; and 77% in the Third District. As you know, the Second district voted for Obama in November 2008, and Obama received one electoral vote by virtue of carrying the Second district.

   By age, support for a national popular vote was 64% among 18-29 year olds, 72% among 30-45 year olds, 73% among 46-65 year olds, and 79% for those older than 65.

   By gender, support for a national popular vote was 82% among women and 66% among men.

2. NO uniform definition of an Elector in the E-V-I-L NPV S-C-H-E-M-E.

   How many foreign ENEMIES (or even outer space folks) — along with foreign and domestic children, mental folks, felons, etc. — will be voting for a U.S.A. Prez/VP — especially in the well known leftwing States ???

   Inquiring minds need to know.

3. NPV coming down the pipeline. I am hopeful this can be in place for 2016.

4. Hmmm — for certain number fans

   1998 = 666 x 3
   + 18 = 6 x 3
   2016
