I thought Connecticut voted for Gore in 2000 anyway. But your point is correct. The State is giving up its right to voice against the sum of other states that out populate it. Stupid is as stupid does.
True, but in 2004, Connecticut voted for Kerry, while Bush won the "popular vote" nationally.
Had this law been in effect at the time, the state would have been forced to award all its electoral votes to Bush, regardless of what "the people" of Connecticut wanted. It would have made the votes of their citizens meaningless.
Any chance we can retroactively apply this law? haha.
