Reject the Radical, Risky National Popular Vote Compact

A campaign that started in California in 2006 has reached Richmond, and it's gunning for the Electoral College. Bills passed by Virginia's House and Senate would add the Commonwealth to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, a scheme that would force Virginia to ignore its own voters and hand its presidential electors to whoever wins a nationwide popularity contest. There's no official national vote total, it likely violates the Constitution's Compact Clause, and every single state that's signed on is blue. Here's why Gov. Spanberger should reject it.

Motor-Voter Law Often Lures Non-Citizens into Voting Illegally

The members of Congress of both parties who voted for the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 — Motor-Voter — are largely to blame for both noncitizen voting’s affront to American democracy and for the lives upended when noncitizens believing themselves eligible to vote have been caught voting illegally. Those congressmen enacted a fatally flawed NVRA that not only facilitates vote fraud but also results in legal aliens mistakenly voting and putting themselves at risk of jail or deportation, despite the legislation’s flaws being pointed out at the time.
