DC: Nevada’s Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak vetoed legislation Thursday to commit Nevada’s six electoral votes to a group of states agreeing to elect the president by popular vote.
Assembly Bill 186 would have joined Nevada to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, (NPVIC), which is an agreement between states to pool their electoral votes and voting results together into one aggregate pot.
“Once effective, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact could diminish the role of smaller states like Nevada in national electoral contests and force Nevada’s electors to side with whoever wins the nationwide popular vote, rather than the candidate Nevadans choose,” Sisolak said in a statement obtained by the Nevada Independent.

Good for him! And good for Nevada! He needs to be talking to his fellow lib governors.
I was very surprised.
Perhaps there is hope left for Nevada?
Yes, a blue pot state where they voted for Hillary in 2016 and the dems big in 2018.
Still, almost shocking.
Yeah, I’m shocked, too. lol.
He knows Nevada will go for Trump in 2020.
Meats and cheeses! How’d that happen!?!
Has his office been protested yet? Recall election?
It’s only a matter of time…
PJ, sadly, I would wager 150 to 1 you are wrong.
I’m living here now.
Not going to happen.
2018 was a bloodbath for republicans.
Every day I see California tags.
These are NOT just visitors.
The Las Vegas daily rag had an article recently about the mass migration of Cookafornians moving here and taking their suicidal voting tendencies with them.
The U-Hauls are LOADED WITH LIBERALISM!
*Sigh
Remember: if the electoral collage goes, it’s the beginning of the 2nd civil war – unless the rest of the nation wants to be ruled by ca and ny.
I’m a Nevadan and although I’m very surprised at his veto, I’m not holding out any hope that he’s any less of a hard lefty than I’ve always known him to be.
The Republicans raised the shit out of some taxes under Sandoval-RINO.
Sisolak(D) was a natural choice. pfft.
Las Vegas is buried with celebutards on the strip and unions. These people are gonna mess around until Nevada ends up with a state tax and no guns.
If iotw wants to compete with the MSM and CNN you should have highlighted Utah in the graphic as Nevada.
Sanity from an unlikely source in a state that has been irreversibly ruined by importing problems from Californicators and illegal aliens. The Democrats in Nevada used to be moderates, until Harry Reid abandoned that line during Obammy’s first term.
@PJ, the gov probably knows that the national popular vote will go to Trump in 2020, and doesn’t want Nevada’s electoral votes going that way.
He just didn’t want Trump to get those 6 EC votes when he wins in a landslide in 2020.
The dems see to it that every harebrained idea conceivable is advanced into the culture. If it’s damaging to society then it must be worth trying.
They will never change and never stop. They can not be persuaded, they cannot be reasoned with and they will not accept any compromise. It sounds radical and extreme but our only solution is a bloody one.
Wow, a ‘Rat that sees the downside, if not the unconstitutionality of the legislation.
Maybe there’s hope yet.
