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.

I foresee Trump winning both the popular and electoral votes in 2020. I will be glad to see Connecticut give their electoral votes to Trump

[Democrats hate too much]

CT is trusting that voter fraud in a couple California counties will put the Dems over the edge every year.

[Prov1322]

This'll be great!

When Trump wins the national popular vote in 2020 and the Kennedy Drooler (or whatever their rigged choice will be) wins CT, that will make even more liberal heads explode!

[palmer]

This will basically encourage and reward various states for allowing illegals to vote.

[Ciaphas Cain]

Dumb. Dumb dumb dumb dumb. Super dumb. Galactically dumb. Dumber than next seasons fall TV lineup dumb no doubt.

Watch this get locked up en route to the Supreme Court and Connecticut losing all their electoral votes while it's being deliberated.

[sickoflibs]

When was the last time that Connecticut picked a Republican POTUS candidate?

[RoseofTexas]

I hear there is a TAX EXODUS happening from Connecticut and other blue states making a beeline to red states....WELL, to be perfectly honest I say this with lots of love ...STAY THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS!! We don’t need your liberal agenda here!! YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED..Colorado is a prime example of what happens when you open the door to these cancerous parasites! They poison everything they touch! The only folks we roll out the welcome mat for is to our conservative folk!!

Also, Art I Sect 10: “No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation”

[Buckeye McFrog]

*Unless the national popular vote winner is a Republican. Then they’ll find some way to weasel out of this.

[pepsi_junkie]

So no point voting in presidential elections if you live in CT then. Just let NYC and LA decide!

[KC_Conspirator]

This does not sound constitutional.

[Magnatron]

So, in other words, they’re giving their vote to California and New York.

[KC_Conspirator]

I would sue RIGHT now if I were a CT resident.

[llevrok]

so why, as a CT voter, vote? The nation votes for you, essentially.

[petro45acp]

Ignorant sheep, useful idiots......

Everything the left has done since before WWII has been to move away from a government run by adults (Republic) to a government run by the mob (democracy).

Moving Senate pics to popular vote
Working the “social” in the propaganda inculcation centers (public schools)
Destroying real education in the propaganda inculcation centers (public schools)
More recently,
The cries against the electoral college
Insisting on getting voting franchise for illegal aliens (why they would vote for a system they fled...)
The general lessening of contempt for socialism (enforced communism)

Just dammmmm......

Soil and Blood. Jus Soli and Jus Sanguinis. The Senate and The House. The Founders understood the importance of both. Everything in our self-government is founded upon the People and the Ground beneath their feet. Tipping that balance exclusively toward the People in mobacracy fashion by ending the Grounding of the electoral college is a grave error. Unfortunately Liberals are Stupid and cannot comprehend why this is a blow against freedom. Just look at the devastation having a non-natural-born-citizen POTUS for eight years has visited upon our nation.

[robroys woman]

I’m wondering if this is even constitutional (Connecticut constitution, that is). It gives up sovereignity. It Counts the votes of voters in other states as relevant at the price of giving up representation of its own voters. i.e. the entire state could vote for candidate A, but if candidate B gets the majority of popular votes in other states, their electors go to candidate B.

That sounds, well, kinda stupid.

[Yo-Yo]

If Connecticut voted to join the National Popular Vote Compact, it has no effect until enough states to total 270 Electoral Votes have signed on.

There will be no effect on the 2020 election unless more states join the compact before then.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Totally screws their voters; how stupid. They could get the opposite of who their state voted for.

[48th SPS Crusader]

So they are pissing on their own citizens votes in favor of voters for 49 other States? Sounds kinda ignorant!
