Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous. The US will be a far, far, different place if they ever manage to pull this off. I would predict that it will change the US in ways that, in the end, the Democrats will hate.

No, actually they'd love it. Why? Because a few densely populated cities on both coasts will rule the nation forever more. Those cities are all that's left of the Left/Dem power base.

If she really wanted to do something she could work inside California to have us moved to a proportional electoral vote. That is, if she was really concerned about disenfranchising those who vote for the loser and candidates ignoring a state as large as CA because it's seen as a given.

But this idea of hers cannot stand... it would increase the likely event of endless court battles. How could you recount only state-by-state? We'd have to have recounts in every state to ensure there aren't another half million votes out there... And since those "faithless electors" are picked because of their party loyalty who's fault is it that a few voted for someone else?
