Sisolak Vetoes Bill to Bypass Electoral College

Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) “has issued his first veto out of the 2019 legislative session, rejecting a proposal that would have pledged Nevada’s six electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote for the presidency,” the Nevada Independent reports.

Explained Sisolak: “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.”
