This law is Unconstitutional and will be nullified.

No. It doesn’t take effect until enough states to give 270 votes signs on, and the Democrats can find trunks full of ballots in every blue state. If they can get the 270, it is a game-changer, negating the EC and allowing the fraudulent over-vote in blue states to overwhelm the legality of red state voters.

There is no upside for these states if they keep voting the way they do.

It's just not you.

I see President Trump winning big in 2020.

Connecticut just handed its electoral votes to President Trump in 2020. I don't think that was the intent of this law.

You mean, the LAWLESS Democrats?

Of course not. When a Republican wins the popular vote, expect them to illegally nullify their own laws.

I was thinking the same thing. This could back fire on them.

No, it isn't just you. Under the status quo, the Connecticut electoral college vote would always go to Democrats. Under their new rules, their vote will have to go to a Republican whenever the GOP candidate wins the national popular vote. The new rule also means that the way CT residents vote doesn't really matter in the election (which will probably mean very low turnout if people think their votes are wasted - which is also bad news for Democrats and good news for us).

This action is unconstitutional. States can’t unilaterally determine how the Electoral College system works. Bunch of losers still crying over 2016.
