North Dakota Advances Key Bill to Protect ND Interests and the Electoral College!

 State Law Would Withhold Popular Vote Tally, IF ...

On 2/26/2021, the North Dakota Senate overwhelmingly passed SB-2271. The bill, at this writing, now heads to the House where it's expected to receive a warm welcome.

But, WHAT IS IT?  SB-2271 basically says that, IF the dangerous National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) scheme is ever made active and goes into effect, THEN it will become illegal by North Dakota State law for any ND official to ever release the tally of the popular vote for Presidential Electors BEFORE the Electoral College meets to cast each State's Votes for President. Officials MAY release the percentage of popular votes cast for each slate of nominated Electors, but not the actual individual vote totals.

It Will Be a Contingency Law -  "IF this, THEN that."

It is a bill, that when it becomes law, will ONLY be in effect in North Dakota IF and WHEN the dangerous National Popular Vote interstate Compact (NPVIC) scheme is in effect in other States!

The legislation is brilliant, in my humble opinion!  The Left is literally doing an end run around the Constitution with this horrible NPVIC scheme.  It's called a Compact or Pact when Governments do them - which will control Presidential elections with their 270 Electoral Votes under contract.

As you probably know already, the NPVIC requires all of its member States to conduct a Statewide popular vote to be cast for the State's nominated Electors.  HOWEVER, this astonishing NPVIC Collusion Agreement then requires those Member States to completely IGNORE the State's own voters and disregard their choice - and seat the nominated Electors who are totally and personally committed to Voting for the Presidential Candidate that received the most popular votes Nationwide from ALL 50 States, plus DC.

The NPVIC Makes the ND Legislature Irrelevant in Presidential Elections

If the NPVIC is ever activated, it will never really matter if the State of North Dakota ever participates in a future Presidential Election!  The State Legislature - which is given "plenary" (unchallengeable) responsibility to choose the Manner in which Electors are chosen by the Constitution in Article Two - has that responsibility rendered moot and meaningless when these other Left-leaning States join this terrible contract!

That's because the 270-Vote NPVIC States will have colluded to cast their now-majority 270 Votes just one way! They will always have the 270 Votes needed to elect the President by some "national" popular vote tally - a method of electing the President that the Founders considered and resoundingly REJECTED at least 4 different times during the Constitutional Convention in 1787!

North Dakota Can Put This Leftist Scheme 'in Check'

The Leftists behind the NPVIC are already 73% of the way there with their plot, with 196 Votes of the 270 they say they need to activate it, under contract!

This brilliant legislation in North Dakota, SB-2177, is like a "poison pill" bill that denies the Leftist NPVIC schemers the *national" popular vote tally that they claim to need to legitimately name the new President!  IF the NPVIC scheme is in effect, THEN this great ND law kicks in and simply says, "Well, we are not going to publish our popular vote totals, then, until after the Electoral College casts their votes."  So, a "national" popular vote tally - they pipe dream and only basis for their scheme - cannot be had!

This is a Great Defensive Bill to Protect North Dakota Sovereignty

Remember, that if the NPVIC never gets activated, OR if it does but then it STOPS being in effect (States drop out of the Compact, eliminating it's 270-Vote control of the election), North Dakota performs as it always has and reports its popular vote totals as usual.

Withholding the reporting of popular vote totals ONLY happens if these other Leftist States want to play Collusion Game and control the Presidential elections.

Urge the North Dakota House of Representatives to ALSO Pass SB-2177!

In this grand scheme of States vs States political warfare started by the Left, this is a super move by North Dakota's legislature to protect it's stature as a sovereign State and it's relevance as a State in executing it's responsibility to help elect our President.  It's like a huge chess game, and North Dakota is THIS CLOSE to putting these Leftist "geniuses" in check!

If you could help let North Dakotans and others know how this bill really works, I'm sure they would really appreciate it.
