Opinion | Minnesota forcing Electoral College to rubber-stamp popular vote result is the real insurrection WashTimesOpEd
The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact would use state legislative power to manipulate presidential elections. Democrats passed it through state House and Senate committees in St. Paul with party-line votes and little debate. Identical bills have failed in Minnesota in the past, with strong bipartisan opposition, because NPV would harm voters and violate both the U.S. and state constitutions.NPV would add a step after the election is held and before winners are declared.
Like many state constitutions, the Minnesota Constitution limits voting to residents. It says that “persons shall not be entitled or permitted to vote at any election in this state” if they have not “resided in the precinct for 30 days next preceding an election.” These flaws raise another legal and practical problem. NPV would add up votes across state lines, something never before done in these United States.
