National Popular Vote Organization Publishes New Edition of “Every Vote Equal”

The organization that is working for the National Popular Vote Plan for presidential elections has issued the fourth version of its “Bible”, i.e., its compilation of just about everything that one would want to know about the plan. The book is called “Every Vote Equal.” The newest version is 1,059 pages. The chief changes between the third edition and the fourth edition seem to be: (1) addition of an introduction by former Utah Republican U.S. Senator Jake Garn; (2) more emphasis on whether and how the statewide initiative process can be used to help pass the plan; (3) an interesting history of troublesome U.S. presidential elections of the past, including little-known details about the 1796 election; (4) new appendices, including the text of certain U.S. Supreme Court decisions involving interstate compacts, and additional presidential election returns for certain elections, including 2012.

The book will soon be available on Amazon for only $4.95.

  1. The NPV Bible scheme from Hell marches on.

    NO uniform definition of Elector-Voter in the EVIL scheme.

    Blatant violation of the Equal Protection Clause — having votes OUTSIDE of a sovereign State determine election results inside such State.

    Blantant violation of the inter-state compact clause – Sorry – electing a Prez is NOT quite like inter-state regulation of wild animals (such as a few cows or wild pigs) crossing a State border.
    —-
    Const Amdt
    Uniform definition of Elector in ALL of the USA
    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
    Equal ballot access
    One election day per year.

    Way too difficult for the New Age pre-school sandbox MORONS with their quick fix schemes from Hell.

  2. Yes, but if National Popular Vote Plan passed in enough states to take effect, surely Congress would either pass a bill setting forth uniform standards, or would pass a constitutional amendment and send it to the states. The point of the movement is to get Congress to act. In 1950 and again in 1969, one House passed a proposed constitutional amendment; but in each case the other house didn’t.

  3. How about have the NPV usual suspects march around like many women did to get the 19th Amdt in 1920 (after about a 70 plus years struggle) ???

    BUT, of course, the New Age Congress and every State legislature is filled with robot party hack gerrymander powermad MONSTERS

    — as evil ROTTEN as King George III and his gangsters in 1773 (Boston Tea Party) to the 1783 USA-Brit Peace Treaty — obtained by FORCE in 1775-1783.

    Noting also the reality to get the 13-14-15 Amdts — i.e. Union Army and Navy FORCE to crush/ smash/ defeat the slavery monarchs / oligarchs in 1861-1865 — at the cost of about 750,000 DEAD Americans on both sides.

    Since when do EVIL entrenched monarchs / oligarchs EVER voluntarily give up their EVIL entrenched minority rule powers ???

    Modern times – the FORCE by the Allies in WW I and the 1942 United Nations in WW II to smash the EVIL monarchs / oligarchs in the Central Powers and Axis Powers respectively.

    For any clueless – REAL Democracy in the U.S.A. exists ONLY in the 18 States with voter petitions for state const amdts.

    All the other 32 State regimes are gerrymander monarchy / oligarchy regimes very little different from the Central Powers and Axis Power regimes.

    Proceed accordingly.

  4. Sec. 1. (1) All persons born or naturalized in the United States of America (hereafter U.S.A.), and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are U.S.A. Citizens and Citizens of the State or other area wherein they reside.

    (2) Each U.S.A. Citizen who is or will be 18 or more years old on an election day and who has registered to vote in his/her precinct of residence [28] days before the election day [(except those lawfully convicted and in a U.S.A. jail on such day [28])[with more than 1 year remaining in jail]] shall be an Elector having the right to vote by secret mail paper ballot in any election in such precinct.

    Sorry -the mental disqualification stuff is much too vague and subject to total abuse – see the old commie purges using alleged mental illness stuff.

    i.e. ALL sorts of EMERGENCY repairs have to be made ASAP to the nearly dead U.S.A. Constitution — IF civil WAR II is to be avoided.

    i.e. sound Democracy general quarters.
    This is NO drill.
    All Democracy hands to battle stations — for the duration.

  5. #7 Why doesn’t it discuss the 1880 election?

    Are those promoting the NPV Scheme unaware of that election, or all too aware of that election?

  6. Gerrymander ROT in ALL elections since 1788 – the first Prez/VP E.C. election — and even in the later 1880 Prez election.

    What is the EVIL fixation with EVIL ANTI-Democracy stuff ??? — like loving the EVIL 3/5 person stuff for getting gerrymander USA Reps. in Art. I and loving the fugitive slave clause in Art. IV.
    ——
    END the ROT — P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.

    I support NPV, and I guess I’d have to say that I’m only moderately aware of the 1880 election. Some mornings I wake up with the 1880 election as my very first thought. But then sometimes I make it all the way to supper before my wife reminds me of the 1880 election and I become aware of it again.

    Thanks for reminding me of the 1880 election.

  8. #10 Who were the candidates in 1880 and how many “popular votes” did they receive?

  9. 11 –

    Gosh, I’m not sure. I think we should investigate. Shall we first count the votes that were tabulated on the electronic voting machines that they used in 1880?

    I’m feeling strangely “aware” of the differences between now and then. Are you, Jimbo?

  10. #12 Barry,

    One of the advantages of the current scheme of appointing presidential electors on the basis of the statewide popular vote, just as we do for electing our governors and senators, is that it doesn’t need electronic voting machines (which did not exist in 1880).

  11. 13 –

    I wish you would make statements such as these while posts are on the first page so that everyone else can understand, as I do, that you’re an idiot.
