In the midst of the shock and dismay of the likely proponents of the so-called Interstate Popular Vote Compact, this Molière Citation is awarded to the bozos who thought that less populous States should nullify the votes of their own citizens in favor of urban voters of other jurisdictions in determining who wins the presidential election.

Yes, that’s a lot to take in.

About one-third of the States, nearly all leaning toward one party (you get 3 guesses and the first 2 don’t count), joined in this anti-democratic initiative.

Just one problem.  The popular vote this year was overwhelmingly cast in favor of the candidate for the “other” party.

As the Poet Robert Burns observed, “The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglay.”

So this small “d” Democratic “initiative” will now be consigned to the scrap heap of anti-democratic manipulation.

“It seemed like a good idea at the time,” until the party pushing the electoral dislocation threw its incumbent candidate under the bus and rammed an unpopular and inarticulate VP onto the top of the ticket – without any pretense of a primary election.

Who knows, maybe they will get the hint that requiring the participating State’s electors to vote for the losing side isn’t as predictable as having boys play on girls’ sports teams.

Only time will tell, but the Molière Citations team predicts that last week’s 10 million plus vote loss will result in the abandonment of this ill-advised Democrat overreach.
