A combination of crap and California whining.

Purpose of the Bill : According to the author:...

..... In 2004, California voters cast more than 10% of the total votes cast for President nationwide, and yet the state received just 2 visits by a Presidential or Vice-Presidential candidate in the last month of the campaign. If the President were elected by a nationwide popular vote, Presidential candidates could not afford to ignore one-tenth of the electorate......."

In 2004, California was not in play, nor was it in '92, '96 and '00.

In fact considering the current voting block of Dumbocrats in the Bay area counties and Los Angeles county and the fact that California will solidly for now give Dumbocrats at least 1.1 million more votes than the Republican for President. Nothing is going to change. Dumbocrats won't visit because the state is a wrap and Republicans won't visit because it is a waste of resources.

All this bill does is what Dumbocrats do best, muddy the water.
