What the article doesn't highlight is that every state that has currently approved this silly idea is a "deep blue" state ... which means they would have been voting for Democrats anyway.

The end result of this idiocy is that a state like California could have 60% of its voters elect a Democrat, yet the state's Electoral Votes would be cast for a Republican.

Let them see how that works for them.

I'd really rather not.

If implemented it will move voter fraud to the national level. If California is a solid Democrat state and manufactures an extra 5 million votes, then under the electoral college it makes no difference. Under this alternative model it will affect the national total and make it harder for the Republican to take the office that he won.
