Defending the Electoral College and the Constitution since 2009
In 2019, former Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak vetoed a National Popular Vote bill. He rightly noted that the National Popular Vote compact would diminish Nevada’s role in presidential elections. Now a constitutional amendment to adopt the National Popular Vote compact (NV AJR6) has been introduced in the Nevada State Assembly.
In Nevada, a constitutional amendment must pass both chambers of the legislature twice before being passed by voters via ballot initiative. If that happens and the compact were to take effect, it would give away Nevada's electoral votes to the winner of the nationwide popular vote. Presidential candidates would ignore Nevada and instead cater to high-population states.
