Most Important Issue Nobody’s Talking About: The fight over the Electoral College is ‘the most important issue in America nobody's talking about,’ Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said at a Wednesday forum co-sponsored by the Heritage Foundation and the State Government Leadership Foundation, a GOP-friendly nonprofit that has recently unveiled a new website and ramped up its operations.”

Brings This Country To Its Knees: “This would, McConnell said, be ‘a catastrophic outcome’ and ‘a constitutional crisis’ that ‘brings this country to its knees. We’ve never had a situation where the president wasn’t sworn in by the date specified in the Constitution.’”

A Constitutional End Run: “I do believe it is an end run around the Constitution,” Beth Chapman, Alabama Secretary of State said. “Chapman, a Republican, argued that a national popular vote would disenfranchise Alabama and other small states because presidential candidates would focus their campaigns on only the largest, most populous states.”

A Very Real Threat: “The NPV is a very real threat to the elections process in the United States and, should it take effect, will lead to massive voter fraud and could leave the country with a constitutional crisis every four years,” said Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett.
