I believe this would be declared unconstitutional!!!
It will be interesting when Trump wins the popular vote in 2020.
I would say the lawsuit against this should be filed today.
They are de facto subverting the constitution.
Ripe for corruption and vote fraud of all kinds, which we have evidence of all across the country.
It is amazing at all of these state legislatures and governors are willing to give control of the votes of their citizens to the populations of other states. But then these are Democrapt controlled states and don’t care what their serfs may want. It would be nice to see how quickly they move to cancel it if the popular vote would go to President Trump in 2020.
This is incredible. The guy is elected to represent his voters, then he gives their electoral votes to California and New York? Our governor in Colorado just did the same thing. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
How is this bill constitutional? It disenfranchises the votes of Delaware’s citizens. If the voters of Delaware vote for the Republican for President, but the national popular vote is for the Democrat, Delaware’s electoral votes go for the democrat. If this is the case why vote in the state of Delaware for President?
Makes their elections cheap. No need to set up polls. Just kick back, pop a cold one, and watch the show.
The odd thing is this could potentially help the republicans as well. You could have a situation a Democrat could have won with the EC votes, but because of the popular vote, they flip to help the GOP. It’s a set up for another way to lose.
It really just doesn’t make sense to me unless you’re so short sighted you’re pissed about 2016 and are only focused on 2020.
Why would a state do this in the first place? does anyone really believe that california should have control over Delaware Votes? What do Voters think about being subservient to California now?
And therefore disenfranchising all the voters of Maryland.
Idiots.

If this were to happen in my state I would immediately sue the government for disenfranchising me.
It does not take effect until enough states enact it to guarantee the Rat wins. We will never overcome the Dim fraud. If the 2018 election did not wake up the stupid party, nothing will. They are still wondering how they lost.
So long as this is all Democrat states it will make no difference unless Trump gets control of the voting process to eliminate the organized fraud which turned a bunch of elections and produced voting majorities for Democrats in many districts\. If the voting gets back to something resembling fair and honest and a Trump popular vote is registered in 2020 this tactic could easily produce a ZERO electoral vote for the Democrat.
I believe Dems recognize that they have 2-3 million illegal votes “wasted” in California and they need to find a way to have those votes impact the election.
It’s literally a big middle finger to their own voters.
These Democrats should have passed a law stating that Delaware’s electoral votes would be cast for the candidate that won the popular vote in California. It would be more fool proof for the next 50 years for Democrats than tying it to the national vote, since they have no qualms anyway with Delaware being California’s b-tch.
This sets the stage for Donald Trump to win a 50 state landslide! Won’t that be a hoot when all those liberal states will have to give him their electors even though the democrat won in their state.
OK, question.
Who is the person, or what is the body, that will tabulate this “national popular vote”?
Assuming that there is a dispute, what methods are in place to audit this “national popular vote”? Who is the custodian of the ballots, or machines, or whatever?
What rules govern states which do not complete their counts once there is an obvious winner? To whom are the State officials that tabulate and certify statewide results responsible?
This crap is an unconstitutional usurpation of federal constitutional powers. It has to be rocket docketed to USSC and STOPPED.
Great. I will love to see these blue states go for the GOP candidate when he wins the popular vote. Hilarious.
In the meantime, it will never hurt the GOP when the Dem wins the popular vote, since these commie states will already be electoral votes for the Rat candidate.
There is no downside for the GOP here.
