Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak Vetoes National Popular Vote Bill
Breitbart, May 30, 2019

Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) on Thursday vetoed a bill which would have pledged the state’s six electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote for President of the United States.

Assembly Bill 186, which recently passed the Senate on a 12-8 vote, would have seen Nevada join with 14 other states in an agreement to vote for the winner of the popular vote. The Assembly had voted in favor of the measure 23-17.
 
“Once effective, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact could diminish the role of smaller states like Nevada in national electoral contests and force Nevada’s electors to side with whoever wins the nationwide popular vote, rather than the candidate Nevadans choose,” a statement via Sisolak reads. “I recognize that many of my fellow Nevadans may disagree on this point and I appreciate the legislature’s thoughtful consideration of this important issue. As Nevada’s governor, I am obligated to make such decisions according to my own conscience. In cases like this, where Nevada’s interests could diverge from the interests of large states, I will always stand up for Nevada.”

Earlier this year, Colorado, Delaware, and New Mexico signed laws joining the compact, while Oregon and Maine are mulling bills of their own. Had Sisolak signed the measure, the group would have a total of 195 votes.

These smaller states better realize that it is their independence that actually gives them a national voice.

There's no way they'd give up their equal representation in the Senate, so why in the world they'd do effectively the same in the EC boggles my mind.

She's imagining Trump or another Satan figure winning the Popular vote, and watching Nevada's EVs going to him.

Can the legislature override the governor's veto?

I'm amazed a democrat-communist would do what Sisolak did.
Perhaps he ought to consider changing parties.

I'm wonderin' if his own party will support him for election again?
