NPVIC anyone? -- nm - oblique Sep 27, 12:08 9
- Ya'll realize that's likely to hurt Democrats unless red states also do it. - Will Hunting Sep 27, 12:25 5
  - But that 2004 example is moot isn't it? Bush got 3m more popular votes than Kerry and won, which is the goal of NPVIC. -- nm - Max Sep 27, 12:30 4
    - Let's flip it by a small amount of voters -- he loses -- yet wins a 450+ EV landslide because only the Democratic states are doing this. - Will Hunting Sep 27, 12:39 3
      - EV margin is irrelevant though in that scenario because the popular vote winner will always win under NPVIC. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 27, 12:43 2
        
        I guess Will's saying if you have GOP-controlled swing states with EV voters who don't comply with NPVIC then the GOP candidate wins - Max Sep 27, 13:39 1
        
        it only takes effect when the participating states have > 270 EV. Result is then popular wins so I'm not sure I'm understanding the downside - oblique Sep 27, 13:41
- Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the US Constitution says what? -- (link*) - znufrii Sep 27, 12:13 2
  - alternate slates of electors for me but not for thee -- nm - mr mooch Sep 27, 12:19 1
    - No, that’s not what it says. -- nm - znufrii Sep 27, 12:21
