Well, here’s where it’s going to get interesting. Governor Brown recently signed a law, if I recall correctly, that mandates that California’s electoral votes be given to the winner of the POPULAR vote in a Presidential election. Now, if the Republican candidate wins the popular vote, it means that Bammy’s hoped for electoral votes from California go directly to the Repubican candidate.

Of course, as we all know, if a Republican wins the popular vote, the libturd legislators will be cramming the capitol the next day to play CYA to try to overturn the law THEY passed.

I think Brown signed on to that National Compact. The electoral votes won’t go to the popular vote winner until 2/3 of the states also sign on.

Left Coasters are souring on Obama because he has not gone left fast enough to suit them.

The national popular vote compact only takes effect when 270 electoral votes worth of states have signed on. It hasn’t happened yet and won’t before 2012.

Won’t happen in 2012. The number goes to 132, with CA being the 8th state. They need to hit 272 before this could go into effect anywhere.

So unless states with 140 electoral votes total (or more) vote the same type bill, there will be no change for 2012.
