According to this story in the New York Daily News, Thomas Golisano is one of the major financial backers of the movement to pass the National Popular Vote Plan bills. Golisano was the Independence Party’s gubernatorial candidate in New York in 1994, 1998, and 2002. Each time he ran, he received a larger share of the vote. In 1994, he received 217,490 votes and gave the Independence Party status as a qualified party. In 1998, when the New York Independence Party was the New York state unit of the Reform Party, he tried again and got 364,056 votes. And in 2002, he tried a third time and got 654,016 votes, which was 14.3% of the total vote cast.

NO uniform definition of an Elector-Voter in the NPV SCHEME from Hell.
How many of the usual suspect States (See 1942 Casablanca movie) will allow FOREIGN folks, domestic felons and/or domestic children to vote for a U.S.A. Prez/VP ???
What is to stop them from so doing ???
—-
along with the now standard —
NO approval by the gerrymander Congress for the Interstate Compact SCHEME.
A blatant violation of the EQUAL protection clause in 14th Amdt, Sec. 1 in the SCHEME.
Any standard MORON responses from the MORON usual suspects ???
Proper remedy – U.S.A. Const. Amdt —
Uniform definition of Elector in ALL of the U.S.A.
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
tom golisano refused to endorse the non-affiliated voters of NYS being allowed to participate in the IP-NY nominating process — some of us wonder why.
Told ya we shouldn’t look up to the NYIP as a model third-party- those guys are a damn joke!
Golisano changed his official residence to Florida, which has no state income tax. He must be putting his tax savings into the campaign for NPV.
At least some of the people in the Independence Party support the “top two” monstrosity, which makes it nearly impossible for independents and small party candidates to get elected.
