Electoral College Opponents Attempt to Have It Both Ways

Electoral College foes have been trying to get their way in Nevada for a decade. Have they finally succeeded?

Nevada’s state Senate approved National Popular Vote legislation on Tuesday. The measure is now awaiting approval from Gov. Steve Sisolak, a Democrat.

The governor’s signature will add Nevada to a growing movement to ditch the Electoral College. Worse, Maine and Oregon could be close behind: National Popular Vote’s plan has already been approved by both states’ senates.

After years of stagnating, National Popular Vote has obtained support from four states in just one short year—or five states, if you count Nevada.

They are taking the states citizens right to vote for a presidential candidate. Now it doesn't matter who they vote for, the state will give their votes to a popular vote winner. They might as well not vote at all. Just let the big cities choose our presidents. The Electoral College was put in the constitution just to avoid that. It was so the less populous states had a voice in who becomes the president of the WHOLE country, and not just one that represents the big cities. Nevada has just taken that power from its citizens, and ceded it to the big, liberal, coastal cities of our country.
