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.
The scheme only goes into effect if states representing 270 or more electoral votes join it.
So no, Bush wouldn’t have gotten the votes in 2004.
I don’t know if the scheme passes constitutional muster or not, it’s clever, but it’s no threat to pass in enough states, not currently anyway. If we let pig democrats take over enough states though...
