A former presidential elector for Hillary Clinton warned the Minnesota elections omnibus contains a provision to 'manipulate' the Electoral College in presidential elections.
Democrat-backed bills
Fox News Digital was told by a source that the NPV provision included in the omnibus was added before Democrats in the state legislature could vet it, violating party caucus rules requiring omnibus provision review.Jasper Hendricks, executive director of Democrats for the Electoral College and a former Clinton presidential elector, warned the"NPV compact is dangerously unstable" and said the theory behind the provision was the same theory behind the January 6th protesters.
"Sponsors of NPV are trying to manipulate DFL lawmakers and force them to vote for an unvetted, unconstitutional measure hidden within an omnibus bill," England said. "NPV is a ticking time bomb, making future election disputes far more dangerous and giving judges much more power to decide election outcomes," England added.
The majority of states require electoral votes to go to the candidate that receives the most votes. Maine and Nebraska are the exceptions, with the popular vote winner in the states taking home the at-large electors while each congressional district gets one electoral vote that goes to the popular candidate in each district.
