Quick review of all states and problem with Missouri edit

Hi, not a native english speaker here, so sorry if I am unclear in anyway, let me know i'll try to be clearer in my explanations. I decided to do little review of all states legislatures which have not pass a NPVIC act yet and I came along a few problems: First of all, I was unable to reach legislatures in Louisiana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin, and even sources already on this page sent me to web pages saying the link do not works, so, don't know if it is because my IP is outside the US or if the sites are really down, No information from me on those state.

More importantly, I've come across 2 bills in Missouri dated from 2023, they don't seem to have been rejected or anything, but I don't know if it has been indefinitely postponed or if it is still pending (https://house.mo.gov/Bill.aspx?bill=HB997&year=2023&code=R and https://house.mo.gov/Bill.aspx?bill=HB829&year=2023&code=R)

For the rest, I'll just update the page with the infos I've collected Niivlem (talk) 14:07, 8 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

The Missouri bills were listed in this article previously. They were changed to "died in committee" in this edit, then removed as failed in this edit. I don't know enough to verify these edits, and the bills appear to be in the current session for the Missouri legislature. --Spiffy sperry (talk) 15:22, 8 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Trump v. Anderson's Impact on NPVIC edit

I'm curious if this case will have any impact on the NPVIC. While in particular it has to do with eligibility for candidates to be placed on the ballot, I'm under the impression that the ruling also influences how state electors should act in some way. Just had this thought in the back of my head. Indochina2 (talk) 11:17, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Florida edit

Bush didn’t win Florida as stated. Bush was awarded Florida by the Supreme Court. Recounts gave it Gore 73.159.217.224 (talk) 02:41, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

It's complicated, but it's unfair to say that recounts gave it to Gore, only that recounts *could* have done that were they not halted. 2000 United States presidential election recount in Florida is a helluva read. TheSavageNorwegian 04:55, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

About Wisconsin edit

Hey, me again, so, long story short, some user recently changer the status of the Wisconsin bills, claiming that since April 15, they died in comittee.

The thing is, as I previously stated, Wisconsin is one of the 5 legislatures websites I cannot access (don't know why), and as I was searching for secondary sources, I came across an article of the Harvard Political Review, April 19, claiming that bill are still pending in Wisconsin (https://harvardpolitics.com/abolishing-the-electoral-college-might-not-be-as-hard-as-you-think/)

So could anyone who has access to the Winsconsin legislature website look for the bills status and either come back here to tell me it has indeed died in comittee or not, or directly change the info on the main page? Thank you very much Niivlem (talk) 22:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
