On July 9, the Massachusetts House passed HB 678, the National Popular Vote Plan bill. The vote was 119-36. The Senate will vote next week. If the bill is signed into law, the Plan will be 23% of the way toward having enough states to go into effect.
One more New Age blatantly UNCONSTITUTIONAL action.
The gerrymander Congress has given NO approval for the NPV-Compact scheme. U.S.A. Const. Art. I, Sec. 10, para. 3.
See the 1860-1861 secret conspiracy by many slave States to form the so-called Confederate States of America – C.S.A. — a blatant violation of such Art. I, Sec. 10, para. 3.
Result — about 620,000 dead Americans in 1861-1865 on both sides.
The scheme also blatantly violates the Equal Protection Clause in 14th Amdt, Sec. 1 — the Prez Electors inside a State can NOT be chosen by actions outside of the State.
Sorry – the gerrymander Congress can NOT violate the EPC directly or indirectly by any mere compact scheme or mere law.
Like having results for U.S.A. Rep., U.S.A. Senator, State senator or State rep inside a State being determined by some action outside of the State.
I.E. More math EVIL by more New Age EVIL MORONS — trying to RIG the SYSTEM.
Waiting for the party hack Supremes to smash the scheme flatter than a pancake under a mountain during a CA earthquake — pretty flat.
If you support the National Popular Vote bill, tell the MA Senate to pass it!
Please take a moment to email your State Senator in support of the National Popular Vote bill. Earlier this month, the House approved it by a vote of 119-37, and the Senate is scheduled to vote this Tuesday!
