The NPV lobbyists have found one (1) Democrat in the House of Delegates to introduce their nefarious National Popular Vote Compact scheme! State Delegate Dan Helmer, D-40, has pre-filed the bill as HB-375 in the new 2024-2026 legislative session. We will momnitor its progress. FEBRUARY 2021 - DOWNGRADED RISK, Slightly With the decision in the Senate P&E Committee to not move the NPVIC forward, the House has likewise decided to not push the bill in this session. We move Virginia from High to Moderate Risk status! Virginia has been considered a High Risk State, one that may likely move to join the dangerous National Popular Vote Interstate Compact scheme. The highly-paid sales force of the National Popular Vote scheme was back in full force in the Virginia Assembly! HOUSE Bill 1933 received a hearing TUESDAY, Jan. 26 in the Senate P&E Committee. The Bill's Patron on the Committee, realizing that he did not have enough votes to get the measure out of Committee, moved to pull the NPVIC from the docket. The motion was unanimously agreed to. VIRGINIA was on the cusp of joining this Federation-threatening Collusion Agreement. You helped to stop this attack against our Electoral College - for NOW. THEY WILL BE BACK in 2022. Similarly, after PASSING the VA House last year in February 2020, the NPVIC was went BACK to the Senate where it had failed to be approved earlier. The Senate Privileges & Elections Committee kept the Bill tabled without advancing it last year. The Bill missed a critical Senate deadline, we have learned, on December 3rd. NE Bills need to now be reintroduced into the Senate and the House. SB !!01 has been introduced in the Senate - the Bill is in the Senate Privileges & Elections Committee. Virginia is generally considered to be a High Risk State and may well join the NPVIC collusion agreement without sufficient opposition from Virginia voters to their State Legislature. HOWEVER, because THERE IS SIGNIFICANT OPPOSITION BY VIRGINIA voters, we are downgrading Virginia SLIGHTLY to Moderate Risk status! STAY VIGILANT! LAST YEAR, the Senate Privileges & Elections Committee - after refusing to advance the Bill earlier in 2020 - received the NPVIC legislation back from the House where it had PASSED in late February 2020. The Committee kept the NPVIC tabled until the Assembly adjourned "sine die" at the end of its Session, thereby killing the NPVIC and every other Bill that had not passed in the 2019-2020 Session. Under the extra efforts of the paid NPVIC sales team, the NPVIC Bill has progressed through the Assembly during 2020. The Senate HAD earlier declined to move the Bill on, but the House of Delegates later did approve it, sending the measure back to the Senate in April. Governor Northam has indicated that he will sign the Bill if the Assembly puts it on his desk. See Editor Links Below ... |
