LOL! So if Sarah Palin gets 52% of the national vote and Obama gets 52% of the Massachusetts vote, then Palin’s electoral slate is elected in Massachusetts.
Yep, pretty much.
This really only hurts the Democrats because the chance of a Republican presidenctial candidate winning in Massachusetts is very slim. (Yes I know Scott Brown won the Senate election but that was a different situation.)
If Obama wins Mass. 60-40% and the GOP candidate gets 51% of the national vote, MA’s 12 electors go to the GOP and could swing the election. If that happens, this law will be repealed very, very fast.
What’s bad would be is if all the current blue states pass this and the Democrats gain all those illegal alien votes. However I dont see all the Obama states passing this. A swing state would never, ever pass a law like this, no matter if they are blue or red.
