Last year, Massachusetts did the same thing. I have no doubt this will come back and haunt them.

Mass. gov. signs national popular vote bill

Massachusetts' Electoral College votes would go to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote, under a bill signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Deval Patrick.

The legislation would not go into effect, however, unless those participating states together hold a majority of the Electoral College votes.

With the governor's signature, Massachusetts becomes the sixth state to join the compact. Maryland, Illinois, New Jersey, Hawaii and Washington state have already approved the measure. The six states together control 27 percent of the 270 electoral votes needed to trigger the law.

“Bite ‘em in the butt” applies here I think. It could be they’re moving toward getting rid of their own party’s chances at the Presidency for a reason. :’)
