NPVIC Status
State UpdatesFebruary 2023 - So far, there has been no activity in the Arkansas legislature. We would love to see some legislation reaffirming the State's commitment to the Electoral College and opposition to the National Popular Vote scheme, but so far, no news is good news. December 2020 - We expect a big push by NPVIC in the new Legislature in January 2021. The Associated Press reports that the paid consultant staff of NPV is targeting certain States in 2021 and 2022. Critics of Electoral College Target States, Push for Popular Vote Compact We expect a push, from the California-based National Popular Vote office, however they are likely to spare Arkansas as they move on Purple States first in 2021, where they believe they have a better chance of winning. Because of Arkansas' current State government make-up and the pretty strong feelings of independence and States' Rights believed in by most of Arkansas citizens, we feel that Arkansas is a sound and solid Electoral College State, not likely at risk of joining the dangerous NPVIC collusion contract. |
