Wo jamaat jo teesri jamiat ki sadrani mein koshish kar rahi hai, woh seedha Electoral College mein se kisi bhi bara party ke ummidwar ko puri tarah rok sakta hai.
No Labels, wo tanzeem jo teesri jamiat ki sadrani ka intizam karne ki koshish kar rahi hai, khule taur par 2024 ke baad “ittehad sarkar” banane ka khayal zahir kar rahi hai agar koi ummidwar 270 Electoral College votes tak pohnchne mein nakam reh jaye aur sada sarkar jeetne ke liye zaroori nah ho.
Tanzeem ke afraad ek mumkin aur aam taur par be-naqaab hone wale manazir ko tasawwur kar rahe hain jahan unhein yeh dafe karna padega ke agar unki abhi tak tayar na hui ticket electoral votes jeet leti hai aur kisi bari party ke ummidwar ko sada sarkar jeetne se rok deti hai, to woh siyasi, cabinet posts ya shayad naib sadrani par tehqiqat karne ka maqam bana sakti hai.
“Yeh mumkin hai ke agar Electoral College tak pohncha aur koi bhi ummidwar 270 electoral votes nahin hasil karta, to muzakrat ho sakti hain ke ek ittehad sarkar banaye jaye jahan voters alag-alag ummidwaron ke darmiyan tabadla ho aur kisi ko 270 ke paar le jaane ke liye,” Ryan Clancy, No Labels ke mashawarat ke sardar ne reporters se kaha. Clancy ne izafah karte hue kaha: “Bohot se aise states hain jo ‘unbound electors’ kehlaye jate hain, yani ke ye electors ka kanooni tor par ye lazim nahin hota ke woh Electoral College mein apne state ke jeetne wale ummidwar ko vote den.”
33 states mein, National Conference of State Legislatures ke mutabiq, qawaneen ‘unbound electors’ ko rokti hain, aur kanooni tor par ye tay hai ke electors ko woh ummidwar vote karna hai jo unke state ke popular vote jeetne wale presidential aur naib sadrani ummidwar hain.
No Labels ke saath rahnuma Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Davis, jo tanzeem ka ham-shehar hai, ne NBC News ke saath ek interview mein is mumkin manazir ki raay di, ke No Labels ki ticket ko kisi bari party ki ticket ke saath “muzakrat” kar sakti hai.
“Is mein Cabinet posts shamil ho sakti hain. Yeh koi policy concession ho sakti hai. Aisa kuch ho sakta hai,” Davis ne kaha, jama kar ke naib sadrani ki bhi shamil ho sakti hai muzakrat mein.
Davis ne kaha ke ek “deal clearly cut kiya ja sakta hai” aur “faithless electors ko” kisi doosri ticket ke ummidwaron ke liye maqbool karne ke liye.
“Yeh ho sakta hai, for example: ‘Hum ek border wall banayenge [aur] deficit nahi chalayenge.’ Kuch bhi ho sakta hai,” Davis ne kaha.
Reporteron ke saath ki gayi video conference call mein, Clancy ne kaha ke ittehad sarkar No Labels ka “manzoori nahi” hai, jo ek presidential ticket ko 50 states mein ballot par rakhne ki koshish kar rahi hai.
“Ek cheez jo main wazeh karna chahta hoon: Ye No Labels ka mansoobah nahi hai. Ye No Labels ka tajaweez nahi hai,” Clancy ne kaha, iske izafah karte hue ke woh ek aisi ticket pesh karna chahte hain jo seedha Electoral College jeet sake.
Davis ne bhi kaha ke tanzeem doosre mumkin natijay ka jayeza le rahi hai: U.S. House ke zariye tajwez kiye jane wale ek mosammi intikhabat ka, jismein sadr chuna jata hai.
Agar unbound electors ko manzoori hasil karne ka koi koshish nakam ho jaye aur koi ummidwar 270 Electoral College votes nahi jama karta, to Constitution ke 12th Amendment ke mutabiq har state ke House delegation ka vote ek presidential ummidwar ke liye hota hai. Sadrani hasil karne ke liye, ek presidential ummidwar ko 26 state delegations ka saath milna chahiye. Senate naib sadrani chunegi.
Jab No Labels se poocha gaya ke kya unho ne state delegations ko dekha hai jo hosakte hain ke No Labels ki ticket ke saath mosammi intikhabat mein shaamil ho, to Davis ne jawab diya, “Bilkul. Bilkul. Bilkul. Hum ne is sab ko map out kar lia hai.”
Unho ne mazmon mein shaamil kisi state ko misaal ke taur par di, jaise Montana, jo ek House member ke saath hai, jo apni ticket ki pehli sporting par ‘hold out’ kar sakta hai.
“Unho ne keh sakta hai, ‘Main nahi karunga — Main is par 26th state nahi banunga jab tak tum kuch istisnaat nahin dikhate,’ ya ‘Mujhe ek Cabinet [post] chahiye. Main ek judgeship chahiye,'” Davis ne kaha, isko stress karte hue: “Mudda yeh hai ke Constitution is tarah ke mumkinat ko hone ki ijaazat deta hai.”
No Labels ne ab tak apni mumkin bipartisanship ticket ke liye koi presidential ya naib sadrani ummidwar muqarrar nahi kiya hai. Clancy ne kaha ke tanzeem apne intihai ummidwaron ko bahar par ballot line dene ka irada karti hai spring mein.
November 2024 mein, No Labels ki ticket ko ek state jeetne ke liye bas itna kafi ho sakta hai ke kisi bhi bari party ke ummidwar ko 270 electoral votes na milen, jis se kisi bhi aise manazir ka saamna karna parega.
Abhi, Republican Party 26 House delegations mein majorities hold karti hai. Lekin chunauti ki surat mein, agle House members ke zimme ye faisla hoga, jo ke 2024 mein chune jayenge.
“Ye House jo faisla karegi woh wo nahi hai jo ab hai — ye woh hai jo agle January mein bethi jayegi,” Clancy ne kaha.
House ne do baar
