You’re absolutely right. Let’s say 70% of Oklahoma votes against a presidential candidate, but that candidate wins the national popular vote by a tiny margin. Let’s say that candidate is also hard left, directly opposed to Oklahoma on virtually every issue, and his or her margin of victory comes from a couple big cities, like Chicago or New York. Finally, let’s say the election hinges on Oklahoma’s electoral votes. This COULD happen.

Given the above scenario, what kind of fool would vote to give away Oklahoma’s power to decide the election in a way that would serve Oklahoma’s interests????

EXACTLY! This is the dumbest idea I have EVER heard.

If they want to award the votes to the winner of the popular vote IN OKLAHOMA, then.. ok. But, never to the National winner. That's insane.
