Popular vote troll will be along shortly to post long winded responses on the wonders of the popular vote.
Which will mean that the states with the higher population would control who’s president. And since they’d be red states, guess what? Four or five states will control the presidency. That’s why the electoral college was set up.
Does this mean that the Democrats will be demanding recounts in every single voting precinct nationwide after the votes are cast in the next presidential election -— in an effort to win the California electoral votes -— even if the national vote doesn’t seem all that close on election night?
I’m guessing it does. They’ll be counting chad and fudging votes in every voting site for months.
How would a voter’s write in vote be authenticated? I can see fraud in someone working at the poll writing on ballots a write in candidate.
Completely unconstitutional. States are specifically prohibited from making a compacts - especially concerning presidential elections. If this was Constitutional they could agree to assign their votes to the individual who gets the most votes in the states in the compact, thereby negating the votes from all the other states.
When a conservative candidate wins the national popular vote and California has to give their electoral votes to that candidate against the popular will of their own citizens (who will most likely vote liberal by a healthy margin), this bill will be repealed.
...so what happens when California goes 55/45 for a Dim, and nation goes 50.0001/49.9999 Repub? I can only imagine that all *heck* will break loose in Calif.
Permanent mail ballot voters aren't removed now unless they miss FOUR general elections, not TWO.
Voter registration may be available online.
New citizens will be able to register to vote for an election until the polls close for that election.
Now write-in votes don't have to follow the rules--something we saw in a San Diego mayoral election which amassed a major Dem's write-in campaign and focused on whether you had to mark the bubble or just write in the name. Many voters testified they wrote the name in so the three major candidates were on their ballot, not intending for printing the name to be considered a vote. Fortunately the Dem had made filling-in-the-bubble a large part of her campaign and it became her legal undoing. Her campaign was less about electing her than preventing a good Republican from replacing the incumbent corrupt RINO who came out on top. Notice the sponsor of one write-in bill was a San Diego Dem.
D wins national popular vote, D wins California: no change
D wins national popular vote, R wins California: not likely, but the California leftists would be happy
R wins national popular vote, R wins California: possible, but no change to result
R wins national popular vote, D wins California: much wailing and gnashing of teeth from California
R wins national popular vote, D wins California, California's votes push the Republican over 538 electoral votes: heads explode in California. State sues itself in federal court trying to overturn its own law.
Nothing but a blaent attempt to by-pass the US Constitution and the electoral college.
Only fair way:
Award electoral votes by who wins each congressional district. Then give 2 to whoever wins a majority or plurality of each states vote.
