The Pennsylvania House Committee has scheduled a hearing at 11 a.m., today, March 12 regarding HB 1270 which was submitted by Rep. Tom Creighton (R-37) and would change the way Pennsylvania casts its Electoral College votes for president by aligning them with the national popular vote.
The bill has 34 co-sponsors, 24 of whom are Democrats.

FYI
Why?
This will eventually come back to bite every state that votes for it. I’m very dismayed to see Republicans even thinking of voting for it.
This is a chance for the cities to steal elections by packing ballot boxes. It won’t matter what the honest vote is in rural states if the Chicago machine can stuff an extra few million Dem votes into the national total. The United States will, if the far left gets its way, become a third world country except for the connected elites who make all our decisions for us.
Can this be challenged in Federal court?

One of the 6 people who voted to change delegate allocation after the vote in Michigan is also our biggest popular vote pimp / Romneybot Saul Anuzis.
Some months back, PA was considering changing its electoral college system in the opposite direction, where each congressional district’s electoral vote would go to whoever got a majority in that congressional district. That way, it wouldn’t matter how much election fraud happened in Philly. Republicans should resurrect the measure.
Can the left possibly F'up this country anymore?
There were 10 GOP co sponsors.
IDIOTS!! This will only open the gates for fraud and large population centers controlling elections. This is not good for Conservatives. Why would they allow their vote to be controlled by other States?
I initially read this title as forging. Little did I know...
The state GOP is endorsing for Senate this year a guy who voted for Obama.
Anyway, 2/3s of the co-sponsors are Dems.
PA usually goes Dem largely as as result of the Philadelphia vote. On the one hand, if the Republicans carry the state they get all the electoral votes. On the other hand, if the Dems. carry it, they get them all. This legislation could change that by going along with the National vote. In the last 2 elections PA went to the Democratic candidate, but under this legislation, Bush would have got their votes in 2004, but Gore would have got them in 2000 which he did anyway.
You get it. Bump
“Why?”

So they can maximize the possibilities of voter fraud. This way, not only would a fraudulent vote count if cast in Philadelphia (to help insure getting all the Pennsylvania electoral votes) but it would also “count” if cast ANYWHERE IN THE USA (toward the national vote totals—potentially triggering Pennsylvania’s electoral vote going to the Democrats even if the Republicans had the majority of the vote in Pennsylvania). ANY Republican would be a fool (or a RINO) to vote for such a plan.
Last year, the Pennsylvania Republicans showed momentary clarity in their thinking when they were considering allocating their electoral college votes by Congressional districtric (except for 2 which would be allocated to the winner of the Statewide vote). That would serve to minimize, if not eliminate entirely, the payoff for voter fraud conducted in Philadelphia. Of course, the Pennsylvania Republicans “caved” and didn’t pursue this common-sense measure.
Probably not.
What do you want to bet that if the national popular vote goes for the dims, then they would follow these rules, but if the GOP won, then they would back off?
Once the Illegals are AUTHORIZED to vote (it's a BIG part of why Photo ID for Voters is vehemently opposed by The Left), we will have the productive/tax-paying population out-voted by those who are parasites and live off their earnings (fleecing the Taxpayers).
Likewise, inner-city tribal areas and the large States will outvote the flyover country population, every time......
