Now That Democrats Captured Texas, They Can Get Rid of the Electoral College By Passing a Law That Texas Will Vote for the "National Popular Vote Winner" No Matter Who Texans Actually Prefer
The National Popular Vote Compact is an effort to get rid of the electoral college without the hurdle of a constitutional amendment. Leftwing states have signed up for the compact, which says that when enough states join the compact to control a majority of the electoral votes, they are all obligated to cast their electoral college votes for the national popular vote winner, even if the voters in the state cast their votes decisively for the other candidate.
To be honest, I slept on this and didn't consider it a big risk because the leftwing states could not actually control a majority of the 540 electoral votes. So, I thought, this will never come to pass. Except the left just captured Texas. So now it's possible.How about fundamentally changing the way we elect the president of the United States? No constitutional amendment. No two-thirds vote in Congress. No ratification by three-fourths of the states. And certainly no meaningful national debate about whether Americans actually want to abandon the presidential election system we've used for more than two centuries. They may be able to accomplish the whole thing with a handful of votes in several newly Democratic state legislatures. And thanks to Tuesday's election results, they're closer than ever. ... The compact doesn't take effect until participating states collectively control at least 270 electoral votes, the number required to elect a president. As of today, 18 states and Washington, D.C., have signed on. Together, they control 222 electoral votes. They need just 48 more. Tuesday's Elections May Have Given Democrats Everything They Need This is where the results of the 2026 midterms become enormously consequential. Democrats appear to have gained control of both legislative chambers and the governor's office in five important presidential battleground states. And none of those states currently belongs to the compact. Look at the electoral votes: Pennsylvania: 19 Michigan: 15 Arizona: 11 Wisconsin: 10 Nevada: 6 That's 61 electoral votes. Add those to the existing 222, and the compact would control 283 electoral votes.Hi everybody. Happy Friday. I apologize for starting off with this bad news.

And they are moving to strip the power of the lt. gov. to control the committees via simple majority vote.

Yes. This is what democrats do when they when. They run roughshod over everyone else.
That’s why you do everything you can to prevent them being elected. At all costs.
You also don’t do anything that will help them be elected.

But ace, as it appears TX is now at the very least likely to be in play on the presidential level, the compact thing is moot. No GOP prez while losing TX.
Aside from that I think the constitutionality problem would trip this thing up. It's so extreme, that even the farcical SCOTUS would probably feel obliged to do the obvious thing (if even grudgingly, and possibly for the last time).

If the left truly has captured Texas in the sense that its voters now vote Democrap, they won't need to join any compact.
Democraps will just win Texas and all its EC votes will go to the Democrap candidate. Just like other big blue states like CA and NY.
But I don't believe this. I think we got fucked by a perfect storm of fucky-ness on Tuesday. There are a lot of reasons for that, but they are all fixable. We have two years to do it.
Will we do it? That's an entirely different question.

If the Left doesn't capture the Supreme Court, the argument against the Compact is pretty straightforward.
It goes against the spirit and the black letter of the law.
The Framers were certainly aware of how a popular vote worked - they could have put that into the Constitution but chose not to.
Problem is, the Left would be happy to put more legislators on the bench, rather than judges.

Doof had something on the ONT that was surprising. Rs did not lose many votes, the Ds gained 20 million votes, and the gains were concentrated in red states (one would expect with a blue wave the blue states would have had even better D turnout vs their averages than in red states)
So I am left wondering. Did Soros capture the SecOfState offices in those red states? Is there at least one flipped to blue state where the state SoS and AG could investigate for vote fraud? Maybe the feds could help with investigating but politically I don't think the feds can initiate investigations.

Really of more concern is taking TX out of the "safe" GOP states in presidential cycles. Not that that's a given, but looking at Tuesday, isn't it at least "a thing"?
People's Hippo's info is somewhat reassuring on the even more urgent matter. TX is by far the largest and most important border sector. And has been a solid and important non-"sanctuary" state.
Any of that changes, the effort to restore rule of law takes a big, big hit. But if the border county sheriffs are all good with their 287gs (guess they are?), that helps a lot. And if the GOP Senate there can block any change by the big metros towards "sanctuary", that would be a huge relief.

If the Left doesn't capture the Supreme Court, the argument against the Compact is pretty straightforward. It goes against the spirit and the black letter of the law.
It does not. Frankly, it does not.
The EVs belong to the States individually. They can do Proportional. All or Nothing. Or this compact.

The constitutional prohibition says "without consent of Congress". There's nothing in there about the executive branch, so this just needs a majority vote in the House, and to overcome the filibuster in the Senate -- and one of the Constitution blocks on this is removed.
Now we know why they will kill the filibuster even while Trump can veto legislation.
After Congress "consents", would the current SCOTUS block? If so...a well-aimed wacko giving them a fortuitous vacancy or two on SCOTUS, and then...

What if TX went with a "split" electoral vote system like Nebraska?
Would that get around Constitutionality problems?
Would that have an equivalent effect on the Electoral College if the now-blue states adopted a "split" system?

I guess we can get an answer on the constitutionality of this, which I question. The US Constitution requires a republican form of governance in the states. Article IV, Section 4. I don't see how my state giving it's EC votes to someone other than who the voters of this state select can pass this muster. It would essentially make every EC voter a "faithless voter".

61 Doof had something on the ONT that was surprising. Rs did not lose many votes, the Ds gained 20 million votes, and the gains were concentrated in red states (one would expect with a blue wave the blue states would have had even better D turnout vs their averages than in red states)
So I am left wondering. Did Soros capture the SecOfState offices in those red states? Is there at least one flipped to blue state where the state SoS and AG could investigate for vote fraud? Maybe the feds could help with investigating but politically I don't think the feds can initiate investigations.
Posted by: PaleRider at November 06, 2026 12:26 PM (PV+Zw)
The surge is largely explained by Hispanics, who live more in the South. While some proportion scaling with the wave is no doubt fraud, in bulk it is the appearance of a new and real group of voters. We got surprised by them just as much as Democrats were surprised by Trump's new constituency in 2016.
Unlike 2020, where Biden's new voters were unexplained and disappeared like the morning dew, we have actual people here.

It's not the "crossover" vote, it's the 2024 Trump switches. Hispanics, something like 17% (seems like that's actually higher in key places like TX/RGV), and young people a massive switch, 30%+.
If "crossover" simple means party ID voting for other party, it's indeed not the story.
The Hispanic switch, with some evidence it was due to immigration enforcement - yowzah.

The thing is, nothing in the Constitution requires that the electoral votes be awarded on the basis of a popular vote.
In many states, and for many years, they were not. Typically the electoral votes were assigned by the state legislature.
Frankly, I'd like to see us go back to that, and also scrap the direct election of U.S. Senators.

We could riot, I guess?! This would deserve a good riot. However, we don't lower ourselves to the standards of mutated, kuru, thudding dumb melons.
I saw a "college" interview of two dimwitted coeds today who want all prisoners free to live among them. One defended gangs. One super dumb one (with adenoids that need removal) even did the heart sign with her hands. I have to assume this is the only way some would date or attract men. Then weep after rape and abuse of the cycle of dumbassery.
President Trump has two more years. He may have things up his cuffed sleeves we don't know about.
I will say the main change for me this week is now disliking JD Vance a whole lot. He's turned into Pence.

If The huge gains in (formerly) red states were due to fraud then it means Republicans in those states were in on the fraud. I honestly doubt Kansas or South Carolina Republicans who run the state hatched a plan to give a Democrat a senate seat.

IF this occurs, THEN the Supreme Court is going to.have one helluva case to resolve. Can perfectly legitimate legislative acts be used to undermine the clear intent of Constitutional structure?
On a nuts 'n bolts basis, sans a Constitutional Amendment, can a law nullify an entire Section of the Constitution. From a meta standpoint, can a legislative act turn the US from a Republic to a Democracy? From a "raw power" standpoint, can legislation remove a "check" to un"balance" the 3 branches?
I'll probably be dead by then, but if this occurs, can an SC decision prevent CW2?

I still think it's possible, maybe probable, that the midterms were stolen. We were "told" by the various polls and polymarkets that the (D) was way, way up in the polls. Told. Shown their analysis. Which just as well could have been pure bullshit to cover for the coming fraud.
Tell the electorate what to expect, deliver on those expectations.
Wave it all away with "turnout." I'm not buying it.

Pulling this news over from last thread, good news from New York for once...
BUY from Sticker Mule! The owner, Anthony Constantino just won a NY house seat. In blue New York. The sticker quality from Sticker Mule is the best, and he is hated by the left.
So many of my art friends rebuke him and are boycotting him because he supported Trump. They have virtue signal contests of who can not buy from him harder. But nothing else has better quality.
Funniest headline about Constantino's win I've found, from the Times Union:
"Anthony Constsntino was a sore (and unhinged) winner." Boo hoo. That honestly describes the winners in the left perfectly as well.

Red Turban, looks like the GOP vote held steady while the Dem vote saw I think the greatest increase in history (lots of questions about that).
But the ominous part to me was the Hispanic 2024 Trump voters switching. Not just for TX, but nationally. Among his notable unique accomplishments, Trump's flipping the RGV (only GOP figure to do so ever) and generally garnering strong %s of the Hispanic vote is among the most important, electorally.
If that support was ephemeral, or merely based on Trump's unique appeal (social values, strong alpha, not a stiff white guy in a suit) ...... oh boy.
Thing is, legal immigrants and 2nd-generation immigrants typically oppose illegal migration with the fury of a thousand suns. But they've been bamboozled into thinking enforcement is "mean", like 12-yr old girls? Puzzling, at this point.

We'll see how the absentee votes break out, but the Alaska Senate seat is looking safer.
Right now it's:
Peltola, Mary (DEM) 48.2%
Sullivan, Dan S. (REP) 47.9%
Heikes, Gerald L. (REP) 2.3%
Sullivan, Daniel J. Jr. 1.7%
It seems unlikely that either Peltola or Real Sullivan will break 50% in the first round, though it could happen.
If it goes to a second round, I think Real Sullivan has it. You have to figure that almost all of the Heikes votes and at least some of the Fake Sullivan votes are going to have Real Sullivan as their second choice.
We won't know for a while, as Alaska is one of the few states that allows absentee ballots to be postmarked by election day, not received by election day. There are historical reasons for this... there were (and still are, to some extent) a lot of places here where the mail doesn't exactly move quickly or predictably.
The drop-dead deadline for receiving votes is November 18, even if they are postmarked by election day.

But the ominous part to me was the Hispanic 2024 Trump voters switching. Not just for TX, but nationally. Among his notable unique accomplishments, Trump's flipping the RGV (only GOP figure to do so ever) and generally garnering strong %s of the Hispanic vote is among the most important, electorally.
If that support was ephemeral, or merely based on Trump's unique appeal (social values, strong alpha, not a stiff white guy in a suit) ...... oh boy.
Posted by: rhomboid at November 06, 2026 12:39 PM (U/Byj)
The biggest factor in the Hispanic swing is Hispanic voters who weren't voting before. Those ones didn't so much "switch" as show up for the first time.
Trump's personal machismo popularity probably accounts for a few percentage points but nothing dramatic.
Platform wise I'm not sure what killed us yet. It might have been ICE, or could just be 'affordability'. The case for it having been ICE is the idea the new voters were pissed about it, the case against is that it's been a strong platform so far and Rs polled well on immigration vs Ds.

As of now, we are boned in 2028 without any changes. I think best chance is Rubio/DeSantis or flipped, but still it's gonna be a rough one. One of those is gonna have to move across the state line. Rubio has spanish identity so I would prefer him in one of the two spots.
So a long way to go here though, because of events and dems will cause some crazy events.

They stole the election by using the same AI they complain about. They've gamed this digital dogshite voting since day 1. In 2 years the Republic is lost, dead on the floor. I saw the interstate compact years ago. By stealing the larger states, the Dems got the answer they've wanted: rigged elections without a legal recourse, as if that matters by the way. Digital dogshite is their thing. God is digital to them. This here and now is all the left has. God is nowhere in their world except interpreted to be a big leftist. It's been a fun ride. I'm older so I can see not retiring peacefully. That won't be allowed.

If The huge gains in (formerly) red states were due to fraud then it means Republicans in those states were in on the fraud. I honestly doubt Kansas or South Carolina Republicans who run the state hatched a plan to give a Democrat a senate seat.
Ok, here is some gratuitous nightmare fuel:
Congress, being all insiders, are seeing the economic numbers that aren't released to the public. Its a variation of the "Lucifer's Hammer" passageway to a dystopia. You know that an extinction event is a few says away, so do you make it public and the world goes insane as they settle scores and engage in behavior they wouldn't do if there were consequences?
They see the multi-trillion dollar Sword of Damocles swinging over the economy and the horsehair is AI investment.

Kamala got 75 million votes in 2024. Trump got 77 million.
According to the chart Piper linked, Democraps got 70 million votes on Tuesday. That's less than they got in 2024.
But we got only 55 million. As I've been saying, we just stayed home. Had we showed up like we did in 2024 -- 77 million votes -- we would have won.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 06, 2026 12:44 PM (iFTx/)
Republicans had 54 million votes in 2022. Not meeting presidential year levels is normal. The dropoff has been a bit higher because our election year totals for 2016, 2020, and 2024 were including TrumpOnly voters (maybe about 10% of the R vote).
60 million would've been a fairly normalish turnout for Ds in 2026.

Interstate compacts require Congressional approval.
So the way it should work is that Congress passes the compact, Trump vetoes it, and nothing happens.
Somehow I think that the Democrats aren't going to accept that.

I believed this as well; but got various reasons I know and deal with a lot of these (fully legal) and I’ve been surprised to see that thanks in part to Spanish language media and also to some admittedly heavy handed enforcement, they as a group have come to feel completely terrorized over the last year. They may be legal, but every one of them has friend, cousins, spouses, co-workers and employees who are in at least the gray area of immigration. Not completely illegal, but more like trying to extend visas, work permits. These people are being told to live in fear every day, and it’s made the entire community, legal or not, angry and paranoid. That’s what came out in Texas on Tuesday.
It has been popular in our groups to say “too bad, deport them all” but when 55% of the state decides to go communist in response, that may not have been the right plan.

And after those arrests, you know who is next?
Red state Republicans politicians.

And they'll bring those in deep, deep blue cities.

I don't think there was any big swing. See my comment above. Dems got a little less votes on Tuesday than they did in 2024, but overall it was comparable (75M vs 70M).
The problem was that we got much much much less votes than in 2024 (77M vs 50M). We just stayed home.
My take is that Dems voted very similarly to how they voted in 2024. No great swings or migrations. It was us who voted drastically differently, by not showing up. If we got the 77M votes we got in 2024, we win.

Not over gasoline. Control
DEI, Green deals, trans (because they used that under the guise to bring lots of illegals into the country), No ICE & reducing the actual numbers of police in Police departments, return of USAID, greatly reduced National Defense spending and billets.
Let criminals out of prisons ASAP and get them onto the public dole, i.e., Medicaid, federal grants for opiate treatment, etc. (But IGNORE THAT FOR POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS.) Legalize prostitution - unionize where possible - keeping within certain age restrictions. (Ha)
Public schools: Universal educational standards for standard K-12. Reduce testing goals in general. Reduce in school time to 4 days a week, max. Reduce AP offerings for average school districts. Raise and re-raise administration and teaching pensions and benefits.
Community hubs. Control of services such as water. More court appointed guardians and conservators for certain elderly & special needs individuals.
Specific aid to 'working families" to keep them onboard.

Kamala got 75 million votes in 2024. Trump got 77 million.
According to the chart Piper linked, Democraps got 70 million votes on Tuesday. That's less than they got in 2024.
But we got only 55 million. As I've been saying, we just stayed home. Had we showed up like we did in 2024 -- 77 million votes -- we would have won.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 06, 2026 12:44 PM (iFTx/)
Republicans had 54 million votes in 2022. Not meeting presidential year levels is normal. The dropoff has been a bit higher because our election year totals for 2016, 2020, and 2024 were including TrumpOnly voters (maybe about 10% of the R vote).
60 million would've been a fairly normalish turnout for Ds in 2026.

Well, yea. That's my point: Dems got their people to turn out like it was a presidential election year, by nationalizing the local elections. They showed up like Trump was on the ballot. Like in 2024.
We did not. We phoned in the normal mid-cycle turnout. Had we taken this election much more seriously, like we did in 2024, we would have gotten close to the 77M votes we did in 2024, and won.

The surge is largely explained by Hispanics, who live more in the South. While some proportion scaling with the wave is no doubt fraud, in bulk it is the appearance of a new and real group of voters. We got surprised by them just as much as Democrats were surprised by Trump's new constituency in 2016.
Unlike 2020, where Biden's new voters were unexplained and disappeared like the morning dew, we have actual people here.
>>>>
So I am supposed to believe that all these 20 million hispanics who voted for Ds are actual hispanic citizens who are pissed that Trump is deporting the new Latin Americans who undercut their wages? Possibly plausible as a group that Hispancis were extra pissed by the high fuel prices and stupid enough to think voting D might lower those prices, but to the tune of 20 million votes? Pull the other finger.

That and the muy macho machismo Hispanics voted for a dick sucking twink that donks on the Virgin Mary.
--
The top issue for Hispanics was "affordability" by 57%.
Start with that as the headwind.
then add in that all the Rs were running on was "Dems are gonna trans your kids!!!"
And recall that, in 2024, voters flat refused to believe the crazy shit Kamala said--even when it was direct quotes.
So they're already against the R, and the R is blathering on something you don't really believe and nothing on what you're worried about = Guess I'll Vote Blue
Stop blaming the voters.

The national popular vote compact is an unconstitutional interstate compact.
That's why it's the model for my unconstitutional interstate compact.
My idea is to pursue it in a much more resilient way. It's going to take awhile, just like NPV. But it will expand and deepen their approach, by attacking the problem in three tiers.
The NPV approach only goes at a mix of the second two parts of my strategy.
1.) States that allow Constitutional ballot initiatives
2.) States that allow legislative ballot initiatives
3.) States that have no initiative process
It will also focus the approach by not striving for a maximum bound but a minimum one. 10 States. I'm not constrained as much by population as geography. I want the most scattered group of States possible.

BUY from Sticker Mule! The owner, Anthony Constantino just won a NY house seat. In blue New York. The sticker quality from Sticker Mule is the best, and he is hated by the left.
So many of my art friends rebuke him and are boycotting him because he supported Trump. They have virtue signal contests of who can not buy from him harder. But nothing else has better quality.
Funniest headline about Constantino's win I've found, from the Times Union:
"Anthony Constsntino was a sore (and unhinged) winner." Boo hoo. That honestly describes the winners in the left perfectly as well.

Nope. The phantom 20 million D votes for Biden in 2020 - which were NOT reflected in down ticket offices or ballot measures - now appeared in the midterms, but only for house and senate races... again, not for other offices or ballot measures.
We weren't born yeatsrday - this is total bullshit. Whoever did the deed for Biden refused to do it for Harris. I suspected at the time that this was because of shit they wanted to go down on Trump's watch.

Unlikely. Take ballot harvesting, for example. Imagine the GOPe spends $100 million on it. The Dem have a lock on the election officials, most DAs and judges. Which means the officials can throw out ballots harvested by the GOP, and the DAs won't pursue charges, and judges will bounce most civil challenges. I'm not saying it's impossible to reverse, just that in states like CA & NY, the doors to their tactics are entirely in the Dems' hands.

"I think Alito and Thomas should retire now, and we need 2 fresh young conservatives to replace them. "
--
So after the Rs doing nothing for voters for 2 years, the plan is to now engage in dirty tactics to hold power?
sure, that's a good plan. Voters will love it.
And everyone will forget about it in 2 years.
And that plan requires Thune, Cornyn, Cassidy, Collins, Earnst et al.?
We don't get to wishcast on ways to win without fighting.

DeSantis almost single=handedly got the Property Tax relief bill passed (Legislature did not want it) and, now, before he leaves office he is working on a Special Session to get a Tax Payer’s Bill of Rights passed to protect the Homestead Exemption from fees and extra charges to circumvent the Relief Bill. He actually does work for affordability.

I wouldn't backstab either one of them and expect to come out the other side intact.
If we know anything about the new crop of Dem politicians, it's that they have no sense of history, no sense of proportion, and are convinced they are selected by God (or whomever) to dramatically remake the nation. They are NOT scared of Pelosi and Jeffries.

Revelation 12:14 is often interpreted to mean the Beast shall reign for 3 1/2 years.
That is the Premillenial Dysfunctional understanding of that passage. John only saw the United States in the last days of its existence and no other body of people over the last two thousand years gained any benefit or edification from this passage.
The orthodox view is sees the wings of the Eagle and immediately recalls Exodus 19:4 "I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself" very well understood by the Jews being ministered by John (completely unknown to Evangelicals today).
the "time, times and half-time" could have been stated "three and one-half years" if that is what was meant, but the symbology is obvious to those who know how to read apocalyptic prose.
The point is not that God's people escape all suffering, its that He delivers them from ultimate destruction. (Read Exodus for more details). The wilderness is simultaneously a place of hardship and divine provision

I believe there's a clause in the us constitution that prohibits state compacts. Is this correct?
1:06 PM
You are correct. The provision you are thinking of is the Compact Clause, found in Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution.
It states:
"No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."
The intent of the Framers was to ensure that the federal government retains oversight regarding agreements between states or with foreign powers, preventing states from forming political blocs or alliances that might undermine national sovereignty or central authority.
However, the Supreme Court has interpreted the scope of this clause narrowly in cases like Virginia v. Tennessee (1893). The Court held that the clause only applies to agreements that might encroach upon or interfere with the "just supremacy of the United States." Therefore, many administrative or cooperative agreements between states—such as those dealing wi

I always felt sorry for native CAs who had lived under Reagan as gov and saw their beloved state turn to into a hellhole. And when I’d see a CA plate here, which is constant, I’d say they’re not welcome, here unless they’re conservative refugees. We also had a room at the inn for them. But here I am. Watching my beloved home state, the one my dad and his bro came to in 1947 after the war, turn into the gulag. I would be lying if I said I haven't cried for 3 days straight now.

Politics is not my life. Not during the Obungo Error, and not now.
The Bible says 365 times not to be afraid. I ain't going to start now with ninny's like the Dims winning a midterm and things as they are. My life is fine.
It might go completely bad and horrific.
I will die fighting if it comes to it, but I know where I'm going and have no fear.
I absolutely do not want sons and grands to have to deal with this mess that I pray against.
People with faith are not weak, as some may see our prayers "not working." It is not a Magic 8 Ball when you pray and you don't get answers or what you pray for. Faith is not seen and I accept God's will.
This country with tik tok witches praying against Trump, supporting abortion, euthansia, pedophilia, etc is what I will continue to pray against. He hears our prayers.
Sometimes things are won by going through really, really bad times. We've been spoiled vs our ancestors who went through far worse. We'll see.
I will never give up or fear what is ahead.

The 80% Hispanic ICE personnel are coming to take you even though you violate no laws!!! Infantile to be taken in by that.

Turnout for Reps was strong, better than 2022 and 2018.
Dem turn out went up about 19 million votes from 2022 to 2026. Basically presidential year turn out. Simply amazing print out the vote effort.

"258 Republicans’ inability to get the SAVE America Act passed was an unforgivable betrayal that could cost us the country"
Inability my ass, they didn't want to do it. Remember that when shit kicks off.
There will be a fight, it's been a done deal that I have called out since June 2016 when the progs started allowing widespread open violence against conservatives. The exposure of Obama's last minute intelligence abuses and the russia scheme cemented it into place.
Look at which states required proof of citizenship to vote, even indirectly via enhanced IDs. Look at the early voting totals and new registrations. Look at why FL and TX were so different and why. Look at which states' "extra" dem house/senate votes didn't translate into prop. or lower office votes.
Near 20 million people did not only vote for federal house/senate, that's nonsense. "Gee, we just have to vote harder next time!". Yeah, no. You are not voting you way out of this.

Speaking of vote harvesting, the California GOP congressional congregation is in the process of being wiped out.
We're down to 4 uncalled races where the GOP has only 1 almost outside the margin of fraud.
If this holds, the Donks will pick up 7 seats in Cali and the GOP will only have 1 congressional seat.
I mean, the GOP should just close up any remaining offices they have in that state.

I don't know if I should say this, because it is a bit of discouraging.
While what you say is true, His will doesn't require the existence of any particular kingdom or polity.
He Himself has said that He could raise up a people for Himself from the rocks.
But we don't know if He's done with our nation, so we can't give up fighting against the evils in front of us.

The Texas GOP was always fat, lazy, and controlled by the Bush/Cornyn types. Their response to this will probably be to run some Diwali ads for outreach.

"This is extremely suspicious that 55% of Texas voter registrations were “new”".
Can't agree. Or disagree.
Until I see the long-term average for this figure. Yes I'm guessing it's much below 55%, but I don't know. Have no idea what the "churn" is for voter registration, anywhere.

Afternoon Ace.
The agreement between states not authorized by the Congress would be unconstitutional . It would directly change the Constitution without an amendment. Of course Ketanji would apply the Good and Plenty clause

Except:
Flips were 6% from Trump 2024 to Dem candidates 2026;
I think you’re talking about national numbers. In Texas, the heavy majority Hispanic counties along the border (14 of them, I think) recorded a 38% flip. Massive.
