If this is such a good idea, I wonder why the leftwing would not start this experiment in states like California or New York where it would impact the most people?
Ping!!
Yes, if the Dems think this is such a great idea, I look forward to them implementing this initiative in New York and Massachusettes.
We're waiting. [insert cricket chirping sound here...]
Technically, it would be unconstitutional!
From: Article II
"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: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector. "
"The Congress may determine the time of choosing the electors, and the day on which they shall give their votes; which day shall be the same throughout the United States.
States may not change the voting procedure.
Only Congress can vote on a change, and that would apply to all states.
They have a lock on both states, so they don't stand to benefit in any way.
Maybe because they already have those states tucked away in the "safe" column.
