Won’t that be funny to watch the next time a republican wins the popular vote...?

They’ll find a reason to nullify it - watch.

Yea, I don’t think they have really thought this through.

Conservatives work at a disadvantage, because several of the larger states (Calif, NY, Mass) are pretty much locked in to give all of their electorial votes to Dems, even though there is a significant GOP vote in those states.

Had this law been in effect in 2004, Bush would have gotten all of Mass’ electorial votes, because Bush won the majority of votes. Is that really what they want?

If Mass wants to disenfranchise their voters by giving away its 12 electorial votes based on what happens in the other 49 states, I guess they can, but you have to think that even in Mass the voters would wake up and say “I don’t want Texas helping determine who gets Mass’ electorial votes.”

Apparently they have a provision to ignore the law if a non socialist wins the popular vote

It surely will - watching those folks choke on their own bile. giggle

You can bet that law will then be repealed as quickly as the Ted Kennedy succession bill.
