Is New Hampshire Broken?

November 13, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The Granite State has done it again: It has a 42-seat Republican majority in the State House, a 2/3 Republican supermajority in the State Senate, and a 4-1 Republican majority on the state’s executive council. The governor is Republican, Kelly Ayotte – but we sent two Democrats to Congress and chose Kamala Harris over Donald … Read more

Night Cap: Electoral Compact or Horrific Progressive Power Grab?

April 27, 2024 Op-Ed

Maine just became the 17th state in the nation to sign onto an electoral compact to reward the national popular vote leader, leaving Maine, New Hampshire and many other smaller states at the mercy (or lack thereof) of big blue states like California and New York.

National Popular Vote Interstate Compact Targets Republicans

April 6, 2024 Ray Cardello

The forefathers established the United States as a Republic of States and not a Democracy. This provision was to maintain the power of the states as opposed to losing it to the collective wishes of the country as a whole.

Secondary to the 2024 Election

March 13, 2024 Jim Bowman

The socialist’s grab bag, leading into this 2024 election, is just jammed full of sound bites for their mindless minions. Conceding that they must and will finally select the most plausible empty suit to run against Trump, their next trinket is twofold: furthering their promotion of democracy along with their drum beating about the supposed negatives that our Electoral College system represents.

Do Not Let The Electoral College Fade Away

March 8, 2024 Ray Cardello

You cannot get through a day without hearing a politician cite a threat to our Democracy. This statement is factually incorrect. The United States of America is not, and hopefully never will be, a Democracy. Our forefathers protected our individual states by creating America as a Constitutional Republic.

Is the Electoral College Necessary?

October 24, 2020 Ken Eyring

Each time a candidate wins a majority of Electoral votes but loses the national popular vote, many Americans wonder if changes should be made. When not given much thought… it appears to be a valid question.

Did SCOTUS Just Kill the National Popular Vote Movement’s Effort to Undermine the Electoral College?

July 7, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Faithless Electors are those that refuse to cast their Electoral College vote in accordance with the popular vote of their state. The National Popular Vote wants member States to cast their state’s electors according to the national popular vote regardless of how their state voted. Did the US Supreme just put a stake in the heart of that idea?

Republicans Try to Prevent the Democrats from Erasing New Hampshire from the Electoral Map

January 15, 2020 Steve MacDonald

We’ve got more stories about the Electoral College versus the National Popular Vote (NPV) movement than you can “shake a stick at.” (Or, “at which you can shake a stick” for the Grammar Nazis.) NPV would erase NH and make it meaningless. HB 1531 attempts to prevent that.

The Electoral College Defense Act

December 3, 2019 Steve MacDonald

As states across the Country push to enact the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which will award the White House to the winner of the National Popular Vote (if/when the Compact hits 270 electoral votes,) some New Hampshire Representatives have introduced the Electoral College Defense Act. Andrew Prout (R-Hudson) has introduced a bill to stop … Read more

National Popular Vote Gets Polite Death in NH

December 20, 2021October 31, 2019 Christopher Maidment

The NH House Election Law Committee voted unanimously this morning to recommend Interim Study, or ‘polite death’, for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact bill. The bill, introduced this year, was retained in Committee and must be acted upon in the second year of session under NH House Rules. The whole House must adopt the … Read more

Justice Ginsberg – Not a Fan of the Electoral College But Its a Dream If You Think it’s Changing

September 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The notorious RBG is not a fan of the Electoral College which concerns me. It is one of the few remaining checks that keep our nation a Republic. But while she is not a fan, she is a realist.

Did The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals Just Save the Electoral College From Meddling Democrats?

January 19, 2020August 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The National Popular Vote (NPV) is an effort to create a compact. States who sign on would allocate their electoral college votes based on the national popular vote. The goal is to get the compact to 270. But the 10th Circuit Court just blew a hole in their nefarious plan.

ICYMI – Maine Said “No” to Giving Up Its Sovereignty

July 16, 2024July 22, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The National Popular vote would erase the votes, voices, and the relevance of state like New Hampshire. That hasn’t kept our Democrats from trying to do that. The same is true for other states, including our neighbors in Maine.

Nevada’s Democrat Governor Vetoes National Popular Vote Bill

May 31, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The National Popular Vote (NPV) freight train just slowed down a tiny bit. Nevada’s Democrat governor has vetoed Assembly Bill 186 which would have tied Nevada to the scheme. His reason? Well, it’s the same as mine, actually.

Democrat’s Dishonest Duplicity on The National Popular Vote

May 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Democrats do not want fairness; they want Democrats to win. And they’ll come up with whatever strategy gets them there. The National Popular vote is one such scam. It erases the value of the electoral college and makes states like New Hampshire meaningless.

Maine State Senate Decides To Give Its Voters No Voice in Presidential Elections

July 16, 2024May 17, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The Maine State Senate must not like their voters very much. They just chose to join the National Popular Vote, which would erase Maine by turning it into a meaningless (if not incredibly large) county of New York State.

Movement to Scrap Electoral College Funded by Liberal Millionaires and Billionaires

March 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The Daily Signal did some digging. The goal was to uncover who was funding National Popular Vote. The “non-profit” pushing the movement to end the Electoral College for electing Presidents of the United States. I don’t think anyone went into this unsure of the results.
