National Popular Vote Plan supporters recently completed collecting signatures on an initiative, that would ask South Dakota voters if they wish to pass the plan. Assuming the initiative has enough valid signatures, it will be on the ballot in November 2012. South Dakota is the first state in which backers of the plan have used the initiative process. UPDATE: the signatures have not yet been collected, but the paperwork has been submitted to enable the drive to begin.

Never mind the RNC. Wait until The Tool hears about this. He’ll have a litter of red kittens.
The NPV scheme/fix from Hell —
1. NO uniform definition of Elector-Voter.
2. NO approval of it by the gerrymander Congress Art. I, Sec. 10 — since it is an OBVIOUS attempt at an interstate compact about BASIC stuff — electing a Prez/VP.
3. A blatant attempt to subvert 14th Amdt, Secs. 1 and 2 — results OUTSIDE of a State determining results inside a State.
Const Amdt remedy
Uniform definition of Elector in ALL of the U.S.A.

Nonpartisan App.V
Difficult only for math MORONS and robot party hacks — overlapping groups of folks.
