National Popular Vote Bill Heads To OK House Committee
An Okie heads up:
The National Popular Vote (NPV) is expected to be heard in the Oklahoma House of Representatives’ Elections and Ethics Committee next Wednesday, Feb. 25. The committee meeting is scheduled to begin at 9:00 am. We have heard that National NPV lobbyists, as well as their in-state lobbying team, are at the Capitol every day, pushing the issue.
Here are the members of the committee:
Rep. Paul Wesselhoft, chair – paulwesselhoft@okhouse.gov
Rep. Donnie Condit, vice chair – donnie.condit@okhouse.gov
Rep. Gary Banz – garybanz@okhouse.gov
Rep. David Dank – david.dank@okhouse.gov
Rep. Charlie Joyner – charlie.joyner@okhouse.gov
Rep. David Perryman – david.perryman@okhouse.gov
Rep. Michael Rogers – michael.rogers@okhouse.gov
As we’ve previously mentioned, the National Popular Vote made it all the way to the state Senate floor last year, and passed.
The Okie will continue to monitor this issue.
Oklahoma is one of the first states to be against this! If we go to popular vote then California, Texas, and the NE will decide every election from now on! Vote NO!
If Oklahoma’s legislature adopts this and has Oklahoma join the National Popular Vote Compact, Oklahoma will become a LOSER-Take-All state! Every time that Oklahoma voters disagree with a national popular vote as tallied by one individual in each of the 50 states the Day AFTER the election, ALL of Oklahoma’s votes are cast AGAINST THE WILL of the Oklahoma electorate.
Please get ANY elected state official to explain WHY THAT is Good Public Policy. It is not. Vote NO on the NPV scheme!
