And it all has nothing to do with the excitement brewing over Tuesday’s special election for the Senate seat formerly held, and held, and held … by Ted Kennedy. I’m actually driving north from Boston to Augusta, Maine. There I begin a series of visits to state capitals to expose the risks of the National Popular Vote proposal and, unfortunately, the ulterior motives of some of its supporters. NPV would side step the Electoral College, fundamentally changing presidential elections and altering our national politics. It’s all part of the Evergreen Freedom Foundation’s Save Our States Project, an effort to defend our unique American system of states.

I plan to visit about seven state capitals along the way, meeting with legislators, activists, media–just about anyone willing to listen to me talk about Federalism and the Electoral College. I’ll post updates and photos as I go.
