The goal of the Left is to destroy everything that defines the United States by whatever means works. This decision takes away another tool that they intended to use when convenient and when it advances their goal. What is significant about this decision is that it was unanamous and it was based on the original intent of the Constitution.
The Electoral College was invented to protect the rights of the states in Presidental elections. The founders did not want the President to be elected by the people, or the Congress, but by the states. Since neither the internet or telegraph did not exist, the only mechanism available was for the states to select electors, have them vote as directed by the state and then send that result to the seat of the Federal Government. Faithless electors could not be tolerated if the elections were to conform to the Constitution. The Supreme Court just protected our election system.
The National Popular Vote movement is the next threat and the Supreme Court has signaled that they intend to strike that down if adopted. The reason is simple, the change of the Electoral College system can only be done by amending the Constitution and that will not happen. The proposed compact is the work around and the only way to achieve their goal. Fortunately for us, it is Unconstitutional.
Of course, they have a backup plan. Ballot harvesting will destroy fair elections and will provide the Left with a Soviet Union style election where the outcome is predetermined by those in power. Once they win an election through ballot harvesting, we will have seen our last election. That has already happened in California, they won’t stop there.
Thank you for that post, centurion316.
I am plenty worried about that one.
And the extended voting. And the ballot harvesting. And the ranked voting...
LOL, well, it is nice to know at the least they have signaled they will not support the National Popular Vote...so there is that.
One step at a time.
