AB 2948 would commit California to a compact in which each participating state would cast all its electoral votes for the presidential candidate receiving the most popular votes nationwide."

GUYS THIS IS AWESOME ... dont you get it?
Nobody will EVER waste time campaigning in Cali again!!
No point to it, might as well advertize nationally.

In 2004, under this plan, Cali would have gone to BUSH, and the whining about OHIO being a swing state, etc. -- irrelevent.

Since it's lunacy for any smaller state to follow Cali's lead... Cali will remain a sore thumb on this and will take itself out of the running for electoral politics.




Fine by me.

If you take away the Electoral College, you take away the containment of voter fraud. No matter how many illegals vote in California, the Democrat only gets 55 Electoral Votes. If you take that boundary limit away, then the fraud itself in California can overwhelm the entire legitimate votes in some small states, throwing the popular vote the Democrat's way. Then, the other states in the compact give their Electoral Votes to the Democrat, regardless of the popular vote in their own state.

I believe this is an attempt to capitalize on the illegal Mexican immigrant vote. Right now, much of that vote is contained in California and Texas and is useless in determining presidential elections since California will go to the Democrats with or without their (illegal) vote and Texas will go to the Republicans.

With this system, the huge numbers of illegals in California and Texas will actually be able to swing presidential elections.
