serious question about popular vote

[Bill Bored]

8. You can't have it both ways.

Yes, because it's too hard to amend the Constitution to do away with the Electoral College, NPV does not ignore it, but rather allocates EC votes differently. So the EC would still exist, but only on paper. The reality is that states who sign onto this thing will have to GIVE AWAY their electoral votes to whichever candidate APPEARS to win the popular vote. That's what I meant by ignoring by the EC.

A state that a candidate wins may have to give its electoral votes away to the LOSING candidate in that state, just because some folks in some other states claim that this loser got X number of votes. My state has no way of verifying any of this. Does yours?

Unless you can figure out a way to verify that the national popular vote tally is CORRECT, this NPV thing is a very bad idea. And you don't seem to want to deal with that.

If you're concerned about how states allocate their electoral votes, as you know, this does not have to be winner-take-all under the current system. However, with NPV, it could end up being loser-take-all in many states, with the loser and the winner unverifiable.

So stop with the NPV talking points and tell us how you plan to count all those votes.
