The National Popular Vote collusion contract scheme has passed the House Elections Committee on a Party Line basis, 6D-2R.  We expect new pressure by the NPV office based in California to be applied on State lawmakers in October and November. (Michigan has a Full-Time legislature and can take this up at any time!)
Contact them NOW and respectfully demand that they STOP the NPV!  (HB-4156 and SB-126)

Once passed by the Democrat House (56D-54R), the NPV will quickly appear in the Dem's Senate Elections Committee next.
​The Senate also has a tiny Dem majority (20D-18R).

State Updates

Nov 11, 2024 - After no action on the NPV Bill HB-4156 in the State House, Democrat Speaker Joe tate has scheduled a floor vote on the NPV for this week.  The House, having had the NPV passed by a 6D-2R vote in its  Elections Committee, can bring the bill up for a vote on a near-moment's notice once the Speaker sees that he he has 56 votes in the 56D-54R House to pass it.
So far, Grassroots pressure has caused a handful of Democrat Representatives to withhold their support for the NPV.

Jun 6, 2023 - The Michigan House Elections Commitee PASSED the National Popular Vote scheme along strict Party lines, 6-2.  It is now on the to the full House of Representatives.

Mar 13, 2023 - The NPV paid Sales force has decided to push theis national popular vote scheme in the evenly-split (56D - 54R) Michigan House first, then in the Senate after they force passage in the House. 

This follows their traditional strategy - get one chamber to approve the bill, thus making it easier for the second chamber to pass it.  The Bill HB-4156 is still pending in the very UNEVENLY-split  (6D - 2R) House Elections Committee.

Nov 21, 2022 - Based upon the Election results this month and the change of control of the whole government to Democrat control, we are changing MICHIGAN's status to HIGH RISK of joining the NPVIC scheme.  Watch for legislative activity in early January 2023.

Michigan NPV Fight now moves on to the Full House (56D-54R)

UPDATE:  November 2023 - TWO Democrat Representatives ran for Mayor in the respective SE Michigan cities, won their elections and have vacated thier State House seats.  The House now has a 54D-54R tie, so there is little likelihood that any legislation will be passed for at least 6 months.

State Update Archives

NPVIC PETITIONS APPROVED for Circulation!

January 2022 UPDATE - The National Popular Vote sales team in Michigan has given up their plan to place their NPV scheme on the general ballot in 2022! YES!
​

DELTA TOWNSHIP, MI   11/13/21 UPDATE - The Board of Canvassers will FORMALLY approve the National Populat Vote petition on 11/15/21, thus starting their 180-day clock.  They must submit 340,047 or more valid voter signatures on or before May 14, 2022 to get their question before voters on the November 2022 ballot.

DELTA Twp, MI   10/26/21 - The Michigan State Board of Canvassers met on TUESDAY morning, October 26 at 9:00 AM at the Delta Township Hall to approve or reject the never-before-attempted Petition Initiative Application by the NPV Sales Team.  For 17 years, the NPV, Inc. team has correctly been opposed to their National Popular Vote Interstate Compact scheme from being  decided on by voters because the US Constitution assigns the responsibility of choosing how each State's Electors are to be chosen to the LEGISLATURE.

Saul Anuzis and his Democrat ally Mark Brewer will be circulating petitions, primarily in southeast Michigan, to place the dangerous National Popular Vote scheme before Michigan voters in November 2022.
Dec 16, 2021 - A surprise announcement was made by the NPVIC Sales Team in Michigan that they are suspending their citizen's initiative petition drive, and will try again to place the NPVIC (despite clear indications the move violates State and U.S. Constitutions) on Michigan's November 2024 ballot.  We believe that they had great difficulty finding the level of support that they need in the Great State of Michigan!  

​Their NPVIC bill is still pending in the House.

Sep 29, 2021 - ALERT!   Saul Anuzis, paid consultant to the National Popular Vote and the prime mover of this effort in the country, has recruited his Democrat friends in Michigan.  The NPV has just filed to place a Voter Referendum on the Michigan Ballot in November 2022!  Saul  is personally co-chairing this campaign with former Democrat State party Chairman Mark Brewer.

The threat here in Michigan is very real, suddenly, despite the fact that the U.S. Constitution declares that the LEGISLATURE shall decide the manner in which the STATE's Electors are chosen.

We are placing Michigan back into the High Risk category because of the voting base in Wayne County and because our confidence level in the Courts to adhere to Constitutional principles is low.

​Sep 29, 2021 - Democrat Representative Matt Koleszar, D-Plymouth 20th District, has introduced the standard National Popular Vote Interstate Comact bill in the House.  No other sponsors are on the bill as of Nov 11, 2021.

April 1, 2021 - HUGE NEWS! Based upon the public and strong statement against the NPVIC by current House Speaker Jason Wentworth today, we are lowering Michigan's risk of succumbing to the NPVIC to LOW RISK! Yes!

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 big push, from the California-based National Popular Vote office, in Michigan in early 2021, if NOT in the Legislature's infamous "Lame Duck" session that runs from Election Day in November until Sine Die on 12/31. There currently is no pending National Popular Vote legislation in the Michigan Legislature. Michigan remains a vitally high target for the NPVIC sales team, however.

The Incoming Republican 2021-2022 Speaker of the House in Michigan. He was also a primary SPONSOR of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact Bill that was quietly placed on the Legislature's dockets on September 5, 2018.

We hope to be wrong, but neither the 2019-2020 Republican Senate Majority Leader SML (who is term-limited out of office on 12/31) who was also a Sponsor of NPVIC in their failed attempt in 2018, nor the 2019-2020 House Speaker, who was not a sponsor in 2018, have issued any public stand AGAINST the NPVIC, that we could find.  To their "credit" so far, no NPVIC Bill has been introduced in this session of the Legislature.  But, we expect it, because the NPVIC Sales Team had them do so in December 2008, where they PASSED the NPVIC in the House when few, if any, lawmakers understood what they were voting for.

Both the 2019-2020 SML and the Speaker did quietly fly off with 30 other Michigan Republicans to that NPVIC Sales meeting in Hawaii in mid-August 2018.

Michigan's 2007-2008 House of Representatives, following a three-day junket by a number of Members to a Washington, DC resort to listen to the NPVIC presentation, PASSED the NPVIC Bill in its Lame Duck Session in mid-December 2008.  When the Legislature adjourned "sine die" on 12/31/2008, all pending legislation - including the NPVIC scheme - expired.

Following another junket trip in August 2018, this time to HAWAII, by about 30 new lawmakers - mostly Republicans - The House and Senate both introduced the devious NPVIC scheme Bills three weeks later.  The NPVIC scheme was introduced on the afternoon of 9/5/2018, a mere three weeks after the Republican State Convention (where not a single word was uttered about the National Popular Vote effort!) - and in ONLY 18 hours, Committee HEARINGS were held in BOTH the Senate and the House on the NPVIC legislation!!  The NPVIC Sales team had flown in four paid experts from California, Vermont, Minnesota and DC to testify at these hearings on the morning of 9/6/2018 and, as NPVIC's own web site bragged, 'THIRTY-ONE witnesses testified in favor of the National Popular Vote Compact with virtually NO ONE speaking against it!'

​We wonder why.  (Not.)

The Republican Speaker of the House and Senate Majority leader in office in 2018, fortunately, were both adamantly opposed to the NPVIC Bills, and they were able to freeze the measure in Committee until the Legislature adjourned sine die on 12/31/2018.

Michigan has Term Limits on its legislators, so the leadership tends to turn over every two years.  A House Member may serve only three 2-year terms, and a State Senator may serve only two 4-year terms. Basically, the entire State Legislature is replaced at least every 8 years.

There is no NPVIC Bill introduced yet in Michigan, although Michigan is probably THE Prime "Purple" State which is what the Democrats desperately need if they hope to ever activate their devious popular vote scheme.

MICHIGAN Calls to ACTION!

Mar 16, 2023 - The NPVIC Sales Team is orchestrating the MI Legislature, to have the House push through its passage of the NPV scheme first, and then move it in the Senate. Their thinking is sound, as that strategy will make passage in the Senate much easier.  FIGHT THIS BILL every day!  Conatct ALL members of the legislature and demand that they KILL the NPV bills!

Nov 21, 2022 - Based upon the Election results this month and the change of control of the whole government, we are changing MICHIGAN's status to HIGH RISK of joining the NPVIC scheme.  Watch for NPVIC legislative activity in early January 2023.


Dec 16, 2021 - A surprise announcement was made by the NPVIC Sales Team in Michigan that they are suspending their citizen's initiative petition drive, and will try again to place the NPVIC (despite clear indications the move violates State and U.S. Constitutions) on Michigan's November 2024 ballot.  We believe that they had great difficulty finding the level of support that they need in the Great State of Michigan!

​Their NPVIC bill is still pending in the House.

​10-26-21 - Lansing, MI -  HELP STOP this ill-advised signature gathering drive!  Convince Michigan voters to say "NO! I will NOT sign your National Popular Vote petition!"

The Michigan Board of Canvassers has APPROVED WITH REVISIONS the petition language to be used with the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact scheme's petition initiative in Michigan.  Expect the signature gathering campaign to begin anytime during the next few weeks.  They have 180 days to gather the 340,047 signatures needed.

9-29-21 - Lansing, MI   Saul Anuzis stopped by his former home State long enough to convince former Democrat State Party Chairman Mark Brewer to Co-Chair the effort to place the National popular Vote before VOTERS in the November 2022 election!  The Left in Michigan is very skilled in succeeding with their Agenda-driven referendums in Michigan. This is an alarming CHANGE in strategy for the highly-paid NPVIC sales team!

12-11-2020  -  MICHIGAN! - ANUZIS claims that Open Buckets of Gasoline are the best way to put out a house fire! (OUR opinion - a tongue-in-cheek analogy.) 

​His "solution" to the popular voting debacle of 2020, is MORE popular voting! Please take Issue with ​Saul Anuzis' Opinion in The Detroit News! 1) PLEASE CONTACT lawmakers and DEMAND that they oppose the National Popular Vote. 2) WRITE YOUR OWN Op-Ed and Letter to the Editor to The Detroit News and to every other publication in Michigan!
