Connecticut is throwing away their leverage IMHO. 7 changed EVs would have changed the 2000 election.

But with this plan all candidates need to do is focus on population centers.

[Democrats hate too much]

Voter fraud in Cali should mean its a democrat anyway.

[Red Badger]

So, in 2020 they’ll go to Trump...................

[vikingd00d]

This law will only be in force until it requires them to allocate the EVs to a republican.

[Sacajaweau]

This will wind up in Supreme Court.

[rbg81]

So, basically, CT is giving its electoral votes to CA and NY.

[Steve_Seattle]

That sounds unconstitutional; they are disenfranchising their own voters.

[IC Ken]

Does the Constitution allow this?

[vette6387]

The RATs have figured out that they can’t “import illegal aliens to vote for them,” so they’re trying now to bastardize the Electoral College to try and subvert the country. This is simply a method by which they disenfranchise their own voters who aren’t RATs.

[Cheerio]

Is this even Constitutional?

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Explanation It has been enacted into law in 11 states with 165 electoral votes (CA, DC, HI, IL, MA, MD, NJ, NY, RI, VT, WA). https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/

The odds are Connecticut will someday be forced to give their Electoral College votes to a Republican after their citizens vote Democrat.

Delicious stupidity.

[Magnum44]

7 changed EVs would have changed the 2000 election.

I thought Connecticut voted for Gore in 2000 anyway. But your point is correct. The State is giving up its right to voice against the sum of other states that out populate it. Stupid is as stupid does.

[ProudDeplorable]

I’m embarrassed to live in Connecticut. It truly is the “Nutball” State.

[LIConFem]

So all of these states will ignore the will of their own people in favor or NY and CA voters.

[CaptainAmiigaf]

A corrupt state deeds its soul and its future to the corrupt party. It “proudly” converts itself into a “one party” entity, soon to enjoy all the pleasures it deserves.

[HamiltonJay]

This will last until the first time CT votes opposite the national vote.

Going to kill them in 2020, when their electoral votes have to go to Trump even though the state electorate voted for whoever the D was.

Stupidity of the left cannot be exaggerated.

[luvbach1]

Is this legal? Its obvious intent is to circumvent the founders’ reason for establishing the Electoral College.

[savedbygrace]

Article IV Section 4: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government"

If the government of Connecticut vitiates the Connecticut voters' selections for President and Vice President, and instead substitutes the voters' selections from other States, then the State is NOT being given a Republican form of government.

It is therefore incumbent upon the United States to overrule this violation of the U. S. Constitution, and guarantee Connecticut a true Republican form of government.

[Cboldt]

They should just pass a law that says they will give the electoral votes to the DEM, no matter what. It would be constitutional, and would save the expense of a popular vote.

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress

[Steve_Seattle]

If every state passed this same law, every election would be a 100% electoral college landslide. In other words, the electoral college would be rendered meaningless, which is probably the goal of this sort of legislation. It is an effort to subvert the Constitution via the back door.

[getitright]

Imagine going to popular vote and having a recount. How long did it take to sort out Florida?
