Typical MSM lame writeup, which fails to mention that Congress would have final approval of such an interstate compact.

Democrats have absolute control in six states.
This won’t be a large movement.
Remember when there was talk of them hijacking the Electoral College vote? Pfft!
Republicans are in absolute control of 25 states.
More tantrums from the kings of tantrum.

It’s hard to maintain a Republic. 200+ years and it takes real commitment, which I fear may be sorely lacking these days

Candor7, do you know more about the actual popular vote totals? I’ve searched and can’t find anything that is current or seems half way accurate. Aside from that, has any authoritative source even mentioned or tried to figure out how many CA votes were by non-citizens?

How novel, a scheme to disenfranchise the voters in your state. Bet that goes over well with the citizens of the states.

In states including Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Mexico, legislators have said they plan to introduce legislation that would require their state's Electoral College voters cast ballots for the presidential candidate who earns the most votes nationwide, regardless of the statewide results.In other words, these legislators wish to make THEIR OWN CONSTITUENTS votes subject to the will of the people of California.

Honestly, the Democrat party is in total disarray.
Putin is now insulting them and laughing at them.
Rush talked about it today, and talked about how much stature the party lost under Obama.
It has gotten to the point that the general public no longer pays much attention to the party.
Yes, there are still Leftists out there, but are they looking to the party to lead them? I think they’re turning to guys like Soros, more and more.
How much clout does the Democrat party have right now.
Almost none...

In other words, these legislators wish to make THEIR OWN CONSTITUENTS votes subject to the will of the people of California. Northern Mexico Which now includes illegal aliens, along with the previous assortment of Fruits and Nuts.

Connecticut State Sen. Mae Flexer and all the rest on that anti-EC bandwagon, show their stupidity and ignorance whenever they suggest an unconstitutional maneuver to help get Democrat Candidates elected; by trying (in vain) to discredit the notion of the Electoral College.
Trump/Pence MAGA!
Merry Christmas to my FReepers...

require their state's Electoral College voters cast ballots for the presidential candidate who earns the most votes nationwide, regardless of the statewide results. I believe there will be a clause in there that says "UNLESS a Republican earns the most votes nationwide"

The Electoral College is a relic of a bygone era, and we need to change this system," said Connecticut state Sen. Mae Flexer, Someone should read to Mae the portion of The Constitution that outlines the Amendment process. These home grown half-a$$ed maneuvers to get around the Constitutional requirements are going to end up in a Constitutional crisis.
