I thought that California just passed a law saying the winner of the national popular vote will recieve it’s 55 Electoral College votes.
So CA might be voting RED whether they like it or not.
Maybe i’m wrong...

Plus...I'm sure if the rule caused them to send (R) electors, the rule would get challenged in court till the end of time. Rules like that are only inviolate when they benefit leftist collectivists.

Like in 2000, the Dems knew it would be close and envisioned the same scenario that happened but in reverse -- a electoral/popular split with Gore winning the electoral, and they were running around reminding everyone that it was the electoral results that counted. Then as soon as the results came in, all the Democrat scum started decrying the present system (because they lost).

Or like when the Dems were in the minority on both houses of Congress and you hear nothing in the media except stuff about how the voice of the minority must be taken into account (except you have to take it so much into account that they're actually in control), then when they win the majority, it's a mandate and "we won!"
