States are not permitted to enter into agreements with another state without approval from Congress.
So the popular vote is dead as long as the GOP holds either House or Senate or Presidency.
Who knows, maybe he has changed. I live in VA and he dropped off my radar following the convention. But as I say, I trust President Trump and I'm sure he remembers KC's shenanigans at the convention. The fact that he's still offering him a position says something.
these people are CRAZZZZZY!
This is how Trump is going to win all the blue states, even those who don't vote for him. In a fair election -- that's where prayers are needed -- Trump wins the popular vote running away.
Abolish the electoral college?
****************
That’s exactly the aim of states allocating their electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote nationwide (gong around the electoral college). The Dems know they can only dominate so many states’ popular vote. Actually allocating all electoral votes to the statewide winner is diluting the intent of voters.
Each Electoral College vote represents the will of the people living in each Congressional District, along with two additional electoral votes per Senate Seat.
If an amendment or law was passed stipulating that each electoral vote be allocated to the winner in each Congressional District, the vote in the Electoral College would have been completely different, for many Presidential elections.
The two electoral votes per state allocated for Senate Representation could be assigned to the Senators themselves. Of course getting rid of the 17th amendment would allow state legislatures to determine the allocation of these votes.
This would, in my opinion, result in Presidential elections really being the will of the citizens, rather than political party manipulations. Political parties could no longer swing elections by manipulating votes in large urban areas, but would have to campaign nationwide.
The effort to assign Electoral College votes to the winner of the nationwide popular vote, is in fact an effort to ignore and dissolve the intent of the Founding Fathers to have a truly Representative Republic.
That’s why Maine can set theirs by Congressional District while most states are winner take all.

In my opinion Maine’s model is exactly what is needed nationwide. Imagine who would have won in 1960, 1992, 2008, and 2012. Would love to see the research.

Not sure when this happened, but posted to YT 2 days ago.
I'm trying to imagine the job ad for the operator and cleaner of such a "chipper".
I was limiting my comments to the leak investigation and not the trial that initiated it. I’m always prejudiced toward the guy in combat in these cases as well.
Think if we had to rely on the old FAX and snail-mail networks. Remember those?
Agree.
Absolutely against election by popular vote.
1. That’s just mob rule.
2. In the current tech environment, it’s an invitation for fraud. The derps only have to cheat massively in the high population areas in order to steal the election. (Which is exactly what they’ve been doing for decades.)
I think arguments can be made (as in post 1446) about tinkering with the Electoral College, but I haven’t studied it well enough to have a reasoned opinion on it. For now, my opinion is that the EC has been a pretty good system for over 200 years, and barring fraud, it has served us pretty well.
One thing I’d like to point out is that regardless of what system you have, there is never going to be a “perfect” system. And regardless of what system you have, whenever a derp loses, he is going to squawk about the unfairness of the system. Translation: “I didn’t know how to make it work to my advantage and now I’m mad because I lost. We should change the system so that I can win.”

..”I’m not crazy, I’m not crazy...” lol!
Thanks, HarleyLady27!
It’s great to get a first hand report. (But the media would NEVER choose you for an interview. They would only choose a malcontent who fits with their agenda.)

"Battelle’s N 3 concept for a minimally invasive neural interface system, called BrainSTORMS (Brain System to Transmit Or Receive Magnetoelectric Signals), involves the development of a novel nanotransducer that could be temporarily introduced into the body via injection and then directed to a specific area of the brain to help complete a task through communication with a helmet-based transceiver.

(2008 not as nice as it is data and not a map)
It appears that it would be an R win in each one though ‘60 requires a little closer look to be sure.

What does this have to do with WalMart?
