“If California wants to split its electoral votes in the name of fairness that’s just fine with me. Hopefully just New York, Illinois, and Oregon would follow suit.”
That will never happen as long as CA is a reliable rat state because it will dilute rat power here.
It's actually popular here in CA among the leftist circles that think Al Gore was cheated out of the election because he won the popular vote but lost the election. There's far more liberals supporting it than conservatives in CA (even by percentage).
I don't know that *I* support it. Part of me feels like if you're going to effectively circumvent the Constitution, you may as well just amend it. The electoral college was a good counterweight to the power of cities, until the cities got so large they engulfed whole regions. Now, it's not a counterweight, but an anchor around our neck. The electoral college basically creates huge power centers which are havens for voter fraud and entitlement mobocracy.
The entire point of the elector college has been turned on it's head, so getting away from it is probably a net gain for conservatives in a major way.
This is a rare instance where the Democrats math-crippling passion actually might work in our favor.
