re: Virginia Governor Abigail signs bill into law giving all electoral college votes to winner

They join several states who have the very same compact.

Interestingly, I do not believe any of them gave their electorial votes to the winner of the popular vote this last cycle.


It's suspensive until the interstate compact encompasses enough electoral votes to elect a presidential candidate. Which begs the question on if they're trying to keep the compact from being ripe for court review.

Granted, the date for determination is 6 months before the election. That is the deadline for when it determines if the compact is in effect. In fact, arguably, if a state leaves the compact within the 6 months before a presidential election, the states would still have to allocate their electoral votes according to the compact.

It depends on the criteria.

One on One? LeBron all day.

Team game? I think Rodman drives LeBron crazy and throws him off his game. He'll still get some points and rebounds but not play at his level.

Rodman just smacking him on the butt will eventually make Lebron reflexively fall to the court and writhe around in "pain" for 30 seconds and then gingerly sit on the bench for a few minutes. :lol:

I would probably actually feel bad for LeBron James. I wouldn't put it past Rodman to try to pull a Delonte West to get in LeBron's head.


~6 minutes in - Rodman messing with Karl Malone - something like that would drive LeBron crazy.

Okay, distinguish between a state populace voting for (i.e. choosing electors) for one candidate, but sending electors due to the popular vote nationwide.

Is the will of the voters being followed? The state made a law that did that; but what if the voters didn't vote for electors for a candidate that won the NATIONWIDE popular vote?

So the residents votes could conceivably be ignored by their state electors? Who do the electors represent? The state or the voters?

If you have the answer, I'd love to hear it.

Scenario:
Virginia government is split. They cannot repeal their part of the Popular Vote Compact and it is is effect.

Virginia goes 51.5% Republican, 48.9% Democrat. The Democrat candidate wins the nationwide popular vote. Are those Republican voters disenfranchised?

Let's dig a little deeper. 100,000 vote difference in Virginia. The nationwide popular vote is closer - 27,000 vote difference. Are they disenfranchised now?

The one holding that congressional approval isn't needed unless it erodes federal power in the vertical balance of power?

Or the one where it held that it might need congressional approval if it changes the horizontal balance of power between state governments?

Either way, it'll be months, if not years, of legal arguing and filing. And then it'll be interesting to see if the Supreme Court would sanction such a tidal change in the electoral system.

I doubt Chief Justice Roberts, with his predilection for the status quo and not rocking the boat, would go along with it and the current Court makeup makes it unlikely.

Because I can't see how it violates the Constitution at all.

Article I, Section 10, Clause 3:

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

The Compact Clause prohibits states from entering into any Agreement or Compact with another State or with a foreign government without the consent of Congress. Whereas other provisions in Article I, Section 10 categorically deny states certain powers, the Compact Clause allows states to retain what the Supreme Court has described as the sovereign right to make agreements and compacts, provided Congress consents.

I'd be fine with a combo of mid and late round WRs to get some more talent in the WR room.

Someone like Skyler Bell in the 3rd would be nice. He has a nice, well-rounded profile.
quote:
Skyler Bell originally played for the Wisconsin Badgers, where he flashed promise, but never got a chance to catch on due to inconsistent offensive structure and quarterback play. He transferred to UConn in 2024, and achieved career-highs in all metrics in his first season there -- but his 2025 campaign was something entirely different. It only took Bell nine games to reach the doorstep of 1,000 yards, and he ended the year with 101 catches, 1,278 yards, 13 touchdowns, and a near-elite PFSN WR Impact score of 85.

The 6'0", 185-pound pass-catcher has one of the most complete three-level threat frameworks in the 2026 class. He's explosive and energized as a mover, with a full route tree, vertical splicing, steely ball tracking, and dynamic RAC chops. Focus drops were an issue in 2024, but he's even cleaned that up -- making his profile one of the most well-rounded in the upcoming group.

He'll be an older rookie, but he compensates by posing as an immediate starter with inside-outside versatility.

PSFN profile - Skyler Bell

I'd also like someone like Eli Heidenreich, Kendrick Law, or Cyrus Allen in the 5th or 6th. They're more quick twitch, RAC, slot type WR.

quote:
. . . But Heidenreich's three-year production is just as impressive. Over that stretch, he amassed a combined 3,151 yards from scrimmage and 23 total scores, averaging almost seven yards per carry and over 18 yards per catch. Strictly at RB in 2025, Heidenreich boasted a strong PFSN Impact score of 80.5, but he also achieved a mind-boggling 4.97 yards per route run, per TruMedia.
. . .
Heidenreich's deference for spatial operation suggests his more favorable future exists as a gadget WR who can be schemed touches off motions, and not as a volume runner. Having said this, Heidenreich's usage versatility is a boon unique to him, and as a bonus, he's an extremely willing, physical blocker in space. For the team that knows how to use him, Heidenreich can be an incredibly valuable rotational catalyst and do-it-all weapon.

PSFN profile - Eli Heidenreich

quote:
. . . Combining elite explosion, hip fluidity, bend, long speed, and high-end contact balance, he functions as an uber-dynamic RAC presence with usage versatility. He's sturdy and composed at the catch point when his number is called, and he has additional upside as a separator with his building blocks. Right away, Law can serve as a dynamic WR3 in an NFL offense, with RAC and blocking utility, and he has true impact starter and three-level threat upside down the line.

PSFN profile - Kendrick Law

quote:
. . . He waged a career-best campaign with the Bearcats, racking up 51 catches for 674 yards and 13 scores, while earning an 80.3 PFSN WR Impact grade. Per TruMedia, he also achieved a strong 2.6 yards per route run, a size-defying 12.23% catch rate over expectation, and a miniscule 1.5% drop rate. At 5'11", 190 pounds, with just over 31" arms, Allen is average size at best, but he possesses a dynamic brand of mobility, complete with electrified agility, twitch, stop-and-start, and propulsive vertical explosion and speed. . . .

PSFN profile - Cyrus Allen

Or if there is some concern about Vele and you want some size, you have players like Malachi Fields (might not be available later), Jeff Caldwell, or Caleb Douglas.

quote:
. . . With his build, Fields brings questions regarding his max-level athleticism, vertical speed, and separation upside with lacking flexibility and deceleration. That said, there's no denying his ability to control the catch point with timing, box-out ability, and vice-grip hands, and his heavy-handed run blocking ability solidifies his value as a rotational WR early on. With good athletic testing, Fields can improve his chances of going Top 100, but needs to keep refining his game as a multi-level separator before he can be a full-time NFL starter.

PSFN profile - Malachi Fields

quote:
. . . At 6'5", 216 pounds, with near-33" arms, Caldwell's most enthralling quality is his size-adjusted athleticism. At the NFL Combine, he quantified this with a blistering 4.31 40-yard dash, a 1.48 10-yard split, a 42" vertical, and an 11'2" broad jump. Caldwell's size, speed, and burst set him apart, but the rest of his profile still needs work.

He has excellent contortion ability at the catch point, but can be prone to focus drops and inconsistency through contact, and he has room to further excel at controlling the catch point with timing and coordination. His route tree is primarily vertical, and while he has good building blocks, his plant-and-drive footwork and sink can be very inconsistent. Additionally, Caldwell provides relatively little as a RAC threat. . . .

PSFN profile - Jeff Caldwell

quote:
SENIOR BOWL OBSERVATIONS:Caleb Douglas first caught my eye on Texas Tech's film with his route-running flexibility and malleability at his size. At 6'3", 198 pounds, Douglas can sink his hips and redirect better than most WRs at his size, and that played into his success on Tuesday.

Douglas' sync on routes can still be more consistent, but his separation upside is clear, and he was dialed in on the first day. His focus was clear as early as warm-ups, where he had a smooth one-handed grab down the field.

Later, Douglas beat Chris Johnson on a post route in team drills and made an acrobatic catch over the middle of the field. And when given another opportunity over the middle later on, he secured it seamlessly and transitioned to RAC. Douglas' hands were inconsistent in college, but if he can make that a strength, he has exciting upside.
. . .
Caleb Douglas never quite reclaimed the proficiency that captured his game on Day 1, but Day 3 was another solid outing from an underrated WR who improved his standing in Mobile.

In 1-on-1s, Douglas' best rep came against TJ Hall, when he used a delayed speed release and a crisp stop-and-go move to induce a pause from Hall, and he also converted a first-down on a smooth speed out in team drills.

Douglas' consistency is still coming along, but the route-running building blocks are there, and his 6'3" frame grants him a wide catch radius and immediate blocking utility.

PSFN profile - Caleb Douglas

Supposedly the date to drop off the ballot was in late-March. He's going to be on the ballot and we'll see how many people blindly vote for his name.

And he wasn't running for reelection for his Congressional seat. So I think he's out of Congress on Jan 3, 2027 (if he's not expelled before then).
