Steve Sisolak on Government Reform

Keep electoral college; no popular vote "compact"

"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 cases like this, where Nevada's interests could diverge from the interests of large states, I will always stand up for Nevada."

The bill would have tied Nevada to a compact of states agreeing to pledge their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, but would only take effect until enough states had joined the compact to eclipse the 270 electoral vote threshold.
