Looks to be unconstitutional, to me.
Mass. the birth palce of America, shamefull!
This is pure Bull $hit and we had better do something fast to get this crap corrected.
Yes, let’s short circuit the last vestiges of our Republic.
Reminds me of Franklin’s words when asked what kind of government he and the Framers had established.
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
This is grandstanding and will have absoutely no effect.
When this comes to pass, it will be open season on 18 wheelers bound to cities.
The cities will be starved to save America
Is it constitutional?
These doofuses are going to be kicking themselves when their efforts amount to giving Sarah Palin a 41 state landslide electoral victory in 2012........LOL
I got a call from these people on Saturday, asking for my support. I told them that it was a terrible idea and that I would do everything in my power (admittedly not much) to oppose their agenda.
Scatter shooting while wondering if this Electoral College representative trick passes ... if the civil rights division of the U.S. Dept. of Justice would lift a finger to protect the voting rights of the minority (aka the Republicans)... ?
Doubt it.
The Electoral College is part of our constitution and cannot legally be ignored by individual states. They have to win a constitutional amendment to change the EC law. That has been tried many times but has always failed. This 'end run' won't succeed, either. It's a feel-good measure for Massachusetts uber liberals and demonstrates how the left is attempting to flush the constitution down the metaphorical toilet in the Age of Obama. Don't allow them to do so. They know they are on the wrong side of the American people and are hoping to make elections irrelevant and eventually mandate a totalitarian government, with, guess who at the top. Not in my America.

Self-serving piggies in the Massachusetts General Court
would NEVER let the citizens vote (what is that?)
about RomneyCARE, gay marriage, or this BS.
Team Romney would not even allow a GOP primary this year.
They do whatever the New York Times
and their carpetbagging pimp order them to do.
Without the electoral college, large cities will control and elect our Presidents.
Without the electoral college, a candidate will only have to campaign in cities like New York, LA, Philly, Pittsburgh and others. Rural and small town America will be at the mercy of a few large cities across the nation, as that is where the majority of the population resides.
Go ahead small state, flush any reason for a candidate to listen to even visit massachsetts.
The end of our country is here.
So these dopes will never ever be forced to switch to the Democratic candidate if the national vote goes that way.
This can only make them switch to Republican, instantly disenfranchising all the dopey liberals in their state.
Why vote at all Massachussetts? You dumbasses.
Any GOP votes likely to come out of this?
It’s really way too late.
The EC was put in place so that the more populace states don’t control the presidency .... we don’t want three or four heavily populated states to determine the presidency ....
One can only hope that enough elected legislators have both sufficient IQ and the firm grasp of our country's history to understand why this is a fatal blow to our republic, and the reasons why the electoral college was deliberately and thoughtfully created within the Constitution.
To insure that the U.S. system would not degenerate to the mob rule that destroyed every other attempt at direct democracy.
Most within months, the remainder within five years.
For those in Rio Linda or Washington DC, just Google "France+Reign of Terror"
