KINGMAN – Trent England of the Save Our States organization, will address the Kingman Republican Women on May 3rd regarding the importance of preserving the electoral college as well as defending it against the National Popular Vote campaign (NPV).
Save Our States is the one group dedicated to defending the Electoral College from the dangerous National Popular Vote (NPV) campaign, which would nullify the Electoral College without a constitutional amendment.
In 2008, states worth 38 electoral votes signed on to NPV. At that pace, it would have taken effect by 2016. Recognizing this threat to our republic, attorney and legal scholar Trent England created Save Our States in 2009.
Save Our States experts have testified at dozens of hearings and visited with legislators from Juneau to Augusta to Sacramento. They have convinced many legislators – even former sponsors of NPV – to become defenders of the Electoral College. If not for the work of Save Our States, NPV would already have claimed control of the presidential elections resulting in a constitutional crisis,
England is the founder and Executive Director of Save Our States. He previously served as an Executive Vice President for both the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs and the Freedom Foundation, and as a legal policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation.
He is a producer of the feature-length documentary, Safeguard: An Electoral College Story; and is the author of Why We Must Defend the Electoral College; and a contributor to The Heritage Guide to the Constitution and One Nation Under Arrest. He earned a J.D. from the George Mason University School of Law and a B.A. in government from Claremont McKenna College.
The Kingman Republican Women meet on the 1st Monday of each month at 11:30 a.m. Meetings are held at the College Park Church Community Center, 1990 Jagerson Ave. facing Van Nuys. Meetings are open to the public and membership is not required. There is a $3.00 fee to cover the cost of the meeting room. A light lunch will be available for a nominal fee. Brown baggers are welcome.
Complete and utter fallacies. The electoral college is a relic of slavery. The EC and the 3/5 counting of slaves for representation purposes were both designed to placate southern slave states so they wouldn’t lose power but only the 3/5 has been repealed, but replaced by Jim Crow and current modern Jim Crow laws, otherwise known as voter surpression laws. Only in America can someone lose the vote and still be elected. And only for President. Every elected office from school board to Senator elects the highest vote getter. Not President. And it’s also a fallacy the electoral college somehow protects small states. It’s nonsense each person’s vote counts exactly one, regardless if it is cast in rural Wyoming or Central Manhattan. The man is supporting the unsupportable. In the interests of minority, corporate rule.
