Here in Michigan, the state house of representatives just passed a resolution that combines popular vote totals with those of other “member states” as a means of choosing electors.

In other words, if we overwhelmingly voted republican but other member states voted democrat, all of our electors would go to the democrat as if we had never voted.

Nice little sidestep of the electoral college huh?

I don’t know what the Michigan senate will do but the house passed their resolution quietly before most of us even knew about it. All but my democrat rep voted in favor.
