Nevada Passes Bill To Give Electoral Votes To National Popular Vote Winner - Politics


Nevada Passes Bill To Give Electoral Votes To National Popular Vote Winner



If Nevada’s Democratic governor signs a bill passed by the state senate Tuesday into law, his state will have moved the National Popular Vote movement six votes closer to effectively nullifying the Electoral College as established in the U.S. Constitution.

By a vote of 12-8, the Nevada Senate passed AB 186 on Tuesday, which if signed by Gov. Steve Sisolak, will add Nevada’s six electoral votes to the 189 votes already pledged by 14 other states in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which would “guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.” If triggered, the pact would override the majority decision of voters in particular states.

Thus far, 14 states and one district have officially passed the measure, their collective electoral vote total currently at 189. The compact requires a minimum of 270 total pledged electoral votes to go into effect. Should Sisolak sign the bill, the total would edge up to 195 votes.

BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP SAYS HE WON’T WORK WITH DEMS UNTIL THEY “GET THEIR PHONY INVESTIGATIONS OVER WITH”
by Kevin Ryan

President Donald Trump walked out of a planned meeting with Democratic leaders on infrastructure today, saying that, though he wants a deal to fund refurbishment and replacement of roads, tunnels, bridges and airports, he’s not going to do it until they finish their investigations of him.

“You can't do it under these circumstances,” he said he told them. “So get these phony investigations over with.”

“It’s sad,” the president told reporters afterwards, standing at a podium with a placard declaring that the Mueller probe found 'NO collusion' and 'NO obstruction,' “This meeting was set up a number of days ago. All of a sudden I hear last night they'll have a meeting, right before this meeting, to talk about ‘The I-word,’” he said, referring to impeachment.

Allegations that the president or his campaign colluded with Russians in 2016 were investigated and dismissed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. However Democrats are increasingly pushing impeachment over the question of whether the president obstructed the investigation. Attorney General Barr dismissed the question of obstruction, saying that no underlying crime existing to try to hide.

Despite this, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused Trump hours before the meeting of presiding over a 'cover-up.'

“I don't do cover-ups,” Trump told reporters.

“What [the Democrats have] done is abuse. This is investigation number four on the same thing, probably five, and it really started pretty much from the time we came down the escalator in Trump Tower,” he said.

“There is a danger here,” he claimed. “If someday a Democrat becomes president and you have a Republican House, they can impeach him or her for any reason. Any reason. We can't allow that to happen.”

“When [Democrats] get everything done, I'm all set to work with them. Let's get infrastructure, let's get drug prices down. In the meantime we're doing excellent work without them,” Trump said.

Kamala Harris Unveils Plan to End Gender Pay Gap – Forgets Her Staff’s Salaries Are Public Record


After Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., announced a plan meant to address the “gender wage gap,” the Washington Free Beacon revealed Tuesday that her own office and campaign pay male workers more than women.

Harris’ proposal, rolled out Sunday at a California rally for her Democratic presidential campaign, would fine corporations 1 percent of profits for every 1 percent in wage gap they allow. Under the plan, the onus would be on companies to prove that any disparities in pay for men and women were not the result of factors such as merit, performance or seniority.

“And this, then, is not only about fairness and equality, it’s about transparency. Show us what you got.”

After Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., announced a plan meant to address the “gender wage gap,” the Washington Free Beacon revealed Tuesday that her own office and campaign pay male workers more than women.

Harris’ proposal, rolled out Sunday at a California rally for her Democratic presidential campaign, would fine corporations 1 percent of profits for every 1 percent in wage gap they allow. Under the plan, the onus would be on companies to prove that any disparities in pay for men and women were not the result of factors such as merit, performance or seniority.

According to the Beacon’s analysis, Harris’ Senate office reported paying women 94 cents for every dollar it paid men in its most recent financial disclosure, which covered April 1, 2019 to September 31, 2018. The median salary for men during that time period was $34,999. For women, it was $32,999.

For the previous six-month period, the numbers were $27,167 for men versus $25,749.97 for women.

Meanwhile, Harris’ presidential campaign disbursements in the month of February showed a 13 percent gender pay gap. The median salary disbursement to women was $5,763.97. Men got $6,632.23.

The California senator touted her plan as “the most aggressive equal pay proposal in history.”
