Letter to Nevada Lawmakers: The NPV is a Disaster for Nevadans

5/29/2023

Las Vegas, May 27, 2023 - Commentary: Flawed Popular Vote Compact is Wrong Move for Nevada, by Jasper Hendricks, The Las Vegas Review-Journal

May 29, 2023

To: Members of the Assembly,

I hope you will share this editorial to help educate people on what a disaster National Popular Vote would be for all Nevadans. To dissolve the Electoral College safeguards that protect voters in each state from voting irregularities in every other state... in the name of some completely untested utopian pipe dream... would be an absolute tragedy.

Editor's Note: In addition to Roberta's short letter, the Commentary published by Jasper Hendricks above is very well written!

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, when I first learned about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, I knew I needed to work hard against it and help inform lawmakers about the pitfalls of this Agreement among a few States.

Having served as a legislative staffer and done lots of writing, I dove in.

Today it’s WONDERFUL to be part of a vigorous TEAM that educates, encourages, equips and inspires people to jump in, to keep learning and to continue the campaign to defeat NPV.
