Hello Everybody,

Should the US continue to use the electoral college system
as the basis for choosing its presidents?  Most people in Nevada
think so.  But not all of them, as the governor has vetoed a
bill passed by both houses to do just that -

Nevada Democratic governor vetoes national popular vote bill

Nevada's Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak on Thursday vetoed a bill
that would have pledged the state’s Electoral College votes to the
presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote.

"After thoughtful deliberation, I have decided to veto Assembly
Bill 186," Sisolak said in a statement.

“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.”

“I recognize that many of my fellow Nevadans may disagree on this
point and I appreciate the legislature’s thoughtful consideration of
this important issue," he added.
