@AnonPoster77@Thorongil16 If they claim, for example, that some batch of provisional ballots cannot count, it would change the overall count. They tried this in NC with the supreme court election and almost won. This would happen pre-certification.
@AlexRigoValenz@ReggieGowland@MaxMBJ@mattyglesias That's not stealing an election by any definition. Voters are still making a choice and that choice is respected. It's no different than airing an ad with false or misleading info, which the GOP does all the time (and so do Dems).
@RealCarlAllen@mattgrossmann It isn't saying any of that. It is merely comparing the final polls to what actually happened. If the poll results differ from the actual result, then it's a polling error. It doesn't matter why. All the reasons you gave are fine, but they don't change that fact.
@avaninthony@JMilesColeman@kkondik That's probably one of the safest bets on the list. All polls, even GOP-aligned ones, have it 6-12 points in favor of Cooper. Early vote is incredibly blue. The GOP has basically given up on the race.
@tee2thej@thomasbrookside@alexva2920@hypocane@LeroyTheElk Whether or not the national popular vote exists as a named entity in the constitution is irrelevant. It's a deductible number that a state could use in decision-making, like anything else. It just can't use it in some sort of official league with other states.
@tee2thej@thomasbrookside@alexva2920@hypocane@LeroyTheElk I get that you are big mad, but these are some very tortured arguments you are putting forth. Voters vote for electors and the state legislature decides how the electors are to function, per the constitution. End of story. The biggest and only risk is that this is a compact.
@tee2thej@thomasbrookside@alexva2920@hypocane@LeroyTheElk I don't think section 2 argument is valid. Regardless of what the voters might think, they are actually voting for a slate of electors. As long as there are no differential rules on how different voters are allowed to vote, there is nothing in violation here. Same with section 1.
