Horrible idea (none / 0) (#16)
by Republican Michigander on Sat Nov 05, 2011 at 12:22:22 AM EST

I like Saul and consider him a friend. However this is a real bad idea.

Don't monkey with the system unless it is a must. It's not needed here. How often is the popular vote relatively close? Often. How often does the person who loses the popular vote win? Rarely. Three times I believe. Hayes, Adams, and Bush the first time. That's it.
This gives urban areas much more power. It doesn't help rural populations.
Vote fraud. Chicago and Milwaukee affects the country instead of Illinois and Wisconsin.
Recounts. How will recounts be conducted under this. Instead of being confined to one state, it could go to hundreds of cities in fifty different states with fifty different rules under the NPV. It potentially creates a giant clustermuck with a capital "F".
Election rules. This will quasi-nationalize elections. Michigan is in the process of cleaning things up with elections with ID laws and such. If Ruth Johnson's reforms pass, what will happen nationally with the NPV? It's a quasi national system and will lead to quasi national election rules across the country. If this goes national, what happens with this? Are we going to be forced by SCOTUS to honor other state election laws in our own state with our own elections, and be forced to toss our election laws? While I can't prove it, I think Michigan that Michigan was stolen in 2004. I also know a high level republican who is IMO the most knowledgeable person in the state on elections issues. I won't name him, but he thinks Freeman Hendrix was the actual winner for Detroit mayor over Kwame. Now, from what I have heard - Detroit since Janice Winfrey took office is actually doing much better with vote fraud issues and cleaning things up some. Detroit's been better.

We're starting to get on the right track here. I'm concerned that NPV will blow it. I don't need Sh!tcago affecting national elections even more than it already does.
