Maryland is a solid blue state whose state house approved a bill that would give its electorial votes to the popular vote winner.

This means in 2004, its votes despite the state voters, would have gone to Bush.

yes but i believe it does not take effect until the other states do the same.

As would have California--which would have driven the libtards INSANE.

This woman is a nutcase, not to mention a crappy driver. It just saddens me that with the exception of Tom McClintock, there is no such thing as a Republican in Sacramento anymore. One could almost make the same comparison for Washington where all CA has there now are Rohrbacher, Hunter, and maybe Issa. Every other pol in CA is a RINO.

And had such a system been in place in Texas or Florida in 2000 then that state would have gone to Gore. It's a two edged sword.

What an asinine Bill. Talk about a bunch of elitist yahoos who think they can come up with a better method than the Founding Fathers. Oh wait, they don't want a better method, they simply want one that guarantees Democrat power forever. Giving the state's votes to the NATIONAL popular vote getter simply removes state power from the process and removes ALL of the representation of that state.

The Democrat Party in its current configuration is an enemy of this country.

DEMOCRATS SUCK
