Any state that does this is committing political suicide. But I don't suppose that will stop them if they think it's the best way to steal national elections.

"If adopted by enough states, the change would make the Electoral College meaningless without amending the Constitution." Typical liberal thinking.

I was thinking that the proponents of this bill are too stupid to see what the real effect would be.

The Constitution does not sp3ecify how the Electoral votes are to be allocated. That has always been up to the states. I guess you would have to research each state's laws to see if there is any legal basis for the current winner takes all situation. Personally, I would like to see a proportional allocation of each state's electoral votes.
