NPVIC Status
'National Popular Vote is dead on arrival in the House.'Statement released 4-01-21 by MI House Speaker Jason Wentworth - "National Popular Vote is bubbling up again in Lansing, and I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what the House plans to do with it. "This is the wrong plan for Michigan. It is dead on arrival in the House. "The NPV plan would take our votes and give them away to out of touch liberals in New York and California. I can’t stand for that. NPV seems to come up every year, even though few people support it and more and more people admit it’s a raw deal for Michigan voters. "Hopefully this year will be the last. Instead House Republicans are spending their time working on ideas that will make our elections more secure and increase protections on your Constitutional rights."

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.
