This year, California’s electoral votes will go to the winner of the majority vote in the U.S.

Even though that passed here in Kalifornia, it isn't really in effect yet...needs more states to vote for it (270 electoral votes worth).

See: http://newmediajournal.us/indx.php/item/5709

Exerpt:

"On August 8, 2011, California joined Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont, and Washington, plus the District of Columbia (all blue states which normally vote Democratic) in adopting the National Popular Vote rule, pledging all of their electoral votes to the candidates for president and vice president who win a majority of the national popular vote. California’s adoption of the rule brings 132 of the needed 270 electoral votes under the popular vote rule. If and when states representing 270 electoral votes have joined the popular vote movement, then and only then will those states be able to eliminate any possibility of electing a president and vice president with less than a majority of the national popular vote."

Thank you for the info; California will not give all its votes to the national vote winner until 270 electoral votes’ worth of states pass similar laws.

I am glad, I don’t like this idea at all, even though it may work to Romney’s advantage this year.
