They did do this in Russia recently. Hmmm Isn't Bloomie trying to do the same thing in NYC?

I don’t think it will ever pass state ratification nor will efforts to abolish the Electoral College.
Keep believing that. 50 electoral votes are already off the table with the interstate voting pact. 74 more are a governor's signature away and 62 are a single house vote and a governor's signature away. The grand total is 186 electoral votes threatened.

Didn’t know that. We’re screwed!
To: joe fonebone
then my suggestion would be to put the issue on the respective state ballots and have it eliminated
That requires attention but this passed one house in my state before I even heard of it.

Looking at the states involved with the interstate compact, I think the strategy is to get democrat leaning states paired up with a few republican leaning states to eliminate republican election chances for good. All it will take is a few GOP leaning states.

Ok. Imagine 2012. The American voters have had enough and there is a popular vote landslide for a fiscally conservative supply-sider with a hawkish foreign policy.
What do these states do, which would have been able to have electors vote for the Democrat liberal candidate had they stayed with the EC?
These things do work both ways.
To: reformedliberal
These things do work both ways.
As does our current time tested system. However our current system lets the individual state's electors vote the way the people want.

I agree. I just don’t think those who want to eliminate the EC have thought things thru. They are assuming they will always have the popular vote.

We are not a Democracy, we are a Republic.
The Democrats think we should be a Democracy so that “majority rule” can do whatever it wants. Republic means by definition “Rule of Law.” It’s what keeps the posse from lynching whomever the majority votes to lynch.
God Save the USofA.
