(Liberals) Be Careful What You Wish For

 I've been listening to a lot of Right-wing, Conservative media and haven't heard anyone else mention this yet...

So.  Remember that you heard it here first.

There's this very democratic, Democrat, Communist, subversive (Un-American, even) idea called the "National Popular Vote Interstate Compact" (NPVIC).  Its basic premise is that America, as a democracy, should elect its President by majority vote.  And, so, as of January 20025, 17 States and the District of Columbia have agreed to award their electoral votes (EVs) to whichever presidential ticket wins the "popular vote."

Following the link above, you will see that the group accounts for 209 EVs (the States shown in green).

Looking at the "2024 United States presidential election", you may notice that all the signatories to the NPVIC also voted for the Harris/Walz ticket.

Meaning...

If the NPVIC had been in effect for the 2024 election...  And, since Trump/Vance won the popular vote...

This

would have turned into this

Trump/Vance 520  -- Harris/Walz 18.

A literal landslide.  :^)

Be careful what you wish for.
