Law Professor Vikram Amar has this article on Verdict, expressing the view that the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision Arizona State Legislature v Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission means that the National Popular Vote movement is free to use the initiative process to pass its plan. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.
The same logic also supports using the initiative to pass laws for each U.S. House district to elect its own elector, or laws to apportion each state’s electors in proportion to the popular vote within each state.
Very interesting!
More and more ANTI-Democracy machinations regarding the timebomb Electoral College —
as if the 750,000 DEAD in 1861-1865 was not EVIL enough after the 1860 minority rule Prez election.
NO uniform definition of Elector in the NPV scheme.
National E.C. gerrymander = 25 percent minority rule tyrant Prezs —- means NOTHING to the math MORONS from Hell doing the NPV and other junk stuff.
—-
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
