With this trickle effect, I think long before all states move to it, those that have will begin to see they have become less important to Presidential candidates. They will not be getting the attention the Electoral College states do.

I predict we will start seeing states repeal these laws.

Lets play this out. Presidential electors are chosen from the most loyal of party hacks.

Let say its Clinton vs Cruz and in Maryland Hillary gets 55% and her electors will vote in December for the President. Cruz wins the national popular vote at 51%.

There is a better chance of an Ayatollah renouncing Islam than for any of those democrat electors voting for Cruz.

I’d hope so. Otherwise, once the “threshold” has been passed, DimocRAT presidential candidates will win based upon massive vote fraud in hundreds and thousands of blue precincts in blue states-—the type of precinct that exists in Philadelphia reporting votes of 18,978 (I just made up that number because I don’t have time to pull actual past counts—it’s in the “ball park”) for the DimocRAT and zero (I didn’t make that easily remembered number up) for the Republican.

National Popular Vote does not go into effect until enacted by states with 270 Electoral College votes.

In the meantime, states will continue to award electors under their current laws. And at least 80% of states and voters will continue to be politically irrelevant in presidential elections.
