They were right. I was being facetious (although that is the more common meaning for the abbreviation). OP should have been clearer.
:-)
Agree - just another Democrat/CNN talking point, nothing more.
True, but it shows the mischief they sit around sowing.
Instead of using the acronym “NPV” which NO ONE is obligated to know what it means, the author could have used the actual words meant by “NPV” before going on to talk about it.
Listen dummy, you ALWAYS spell-out the acronym the first time it is used.
good lord.
I was thinking Budget Estimate at Completion (BEC).
Thanks for clearing that up.
The “National Popular Vote” agenda will not pass constitutional muster, as it is clearly identified as an attempt to go around the Constitution’s electoral college provisions and side-step what they truly mean, replacing it with a so-called “national popular vote”.
If it were possible it’s advocates should burn in a “Constitutional hell”; if only there were such a place.
A “nation” is not the mere counting of “how many people”, and is not even “clearly” represented in a mere counting of a “majority” of people spread all over a nation.
We are a republic (res publica - the public whose government is NOT by direct democracy, but by “representatives”. We have federal elections not for “national” congress persons, or “national” senators, nor even ‘directly’ for the chief executive, but in each case by electing “representatives” (of districts, or of states [as with the senate and the electoral college]).
A “nation” is if it is anything at all a collection of places much more than a national counting of persons. A nation is its villages, towns, cities, counties, regions and states way more than it is any mere counting of people “nationally”.
If anyone examines well the electoral college votes from any election, they will find the winner has “won” more of “the nation” than their opponent(s), as they have won majorities in far more counties of the country than their opponent. Their victory is always spread over more of “the nation” than a mere national popular “majority” ever could be.
The NPV is fraud, pure and simple fraud, and an attempt to bypass what it’s backers know they can never achieve - formally changing the Constitution. That is why they have tries this legislative slight of hand.
Negative Pulse Voltage????
Maybe it is a North Korean political party.
This would give the big cities additional incentive to stuff ballot boxes. Right now it doesn't make much sense to run up the totals in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles when NY, IL, and CA are always going to be in the Democrat column anyway, but with this system we would get 100% voter turnout in Democrat-controlled cities.
Everyone is overlooking the elephant in the room. If POTUS is elected based on national popular vote, then everyone will be hostage to those few large cities who are willing and able to manufacture votes. Vote fraud would go throught the ceiling. And there would be no recourse!
110%! You forgot the dead!...................
So they want four or five states to determine who’ll be president and the rest of the 4546 states no longer will have a say.
> Uuummm,what’s NPV?
Don’t know. I was wondering about that also.
NPV. One man’s mnemonics are the other man’s hieroglyphics.
Only 100%? Do you really think the Chicago machine would limit itself to one ghost, one vote?
Just because you cast a vote does not mean YOU CAN LEGALLY VOTE at all.
Net present value?
Especially when NPV is more readily recognized as meaning:
Net Present Value (NPV) is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows. NPV is used in capital budgeting to analyze the profitability of a projected investment or project.
