that would deliver the state's electoral votes to the U.S. presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote.

Then why have states at all? Since they would not count in the national tally anyway this would be the first step in ridding the nation of individual States.

First the state borders will not count, then the national borders, pretty soon we really will have candidates campaigning in France, Ugandi, Russia, China etc because they will be voting in the US election because hey, whomever gets the U.S. Presidential election "affects them too ya know."

What a bunch of ignorant bastards.

You’re getting dangerously close to their REAL agenda here.....!

For administrative convenience. Even the Russians and Chinese, at the height of Communist oversight of their countries, had soviets and prefectures.
