Spanberger Joins Attack On Electoral College
Virginia just became the 18th state to adopt the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

by David Catron


A great deal of national news coverage concerning Virginia has focused on the attempt by its new Democratic governor, Abigail Spanberger, and her confederates in the General Assembly to circumvent the commonwealth’s constitution in order to radically gerrymander the state’s congressional district map. This maneuver has, however, overshadowed another of their equally dubious legislative actions. A bill proposing that Virginia join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) passed both houses of the General Assembly in February, and Gov. Spanberger signed it into law on April 13.

    The ensuing litigation would certainly result in a Supreme Court battle that would be far more explosive than Bush v. Gore.

The NPVIC is a scheme cooked up by the Democrats to avoid the inconvenience of winning presidential elections by garnering a majority of Electoral College votes. They have been selling this boondoggle as a way of neutralizing an “obsolete” institution that allegedly preserves an inequitable provision of the Constitution. In reality, NPVIC is just another effort to endow the heavily populated, Democrat-dominated regions of the country with even more political power than they already wield. Fortunately, it will fail. If you haven’t read the official NPVIC pitch, here’s what it would accomplish, according to its website:

Abigail Spanberger's oath of office - this is what she swore as she took office:

"I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge all the duties incumbent upon me as Governor according to the best of my ability, so help me God."

(Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia)

Article I. Bill of Rights
Section 13. Militia; standing armies; military subordinate to civil power

That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state, therefore, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.
