“How Small State Democrats are Selling Out Their States to California”

The eminent Daniel Greenfield explains in detail what we posted days ago: small states relinquishing electoral votes to the popular vote become captive to California (and NY).

In a nutshell, “The electoral college was meant to protect the political power of even the smallest states. But Democrats in some of those states are eager to abandon local power for national control. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact nationalizes local votes in a trick of political socialism.” (Aahh, why campaign in Vermont, anyway?)

The problem? “The compact puts (small states) in a grim place…Their only political assets were their electoral college votes. And they chose to give those assets away to New York and California in the hopes of rigging a future presidential election.”

The result? “The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact formalizes the centralization of power in the few wealthy areas of a few powerful states at the expense of the multitude of smaller states of the country. It overturns the balance of power keeping a handful of powerful states from controlling the country.” 

(But, hey, what’s a little ‘balance of power’ loss between states, right?)

‘Eager to abandon local power for national control’…yet, not aware those willing to give up vote liberty – for political security – deserve neither such liberty or security.

Time will tell.
