NPV is a pernicious virus. Trump is the antidote.
IS it just me? Or can I see this plan backfiring spectactularly on the Democrats??
Can the Constitution be changed in this fashion? The Electoral College is part of the Constitution - doesn’t it need an amendment to be changed?
Is this legal? Not that it necessarily matters :(
Why vote?
Good. That’s the only way Pres. Trump will get their electoral college votes in 2020.
Yeah, if the winner of the popular vote is a democrat, if not then they’ll stick to Electoral College tradition.

Great Idea.
stealing the electoral votes away from the state’s own citizens!? WOW!
would would have imagined that ANY of USA’s 57 states would try to do that!?????????
regardless of politics, there’s obviously zero reason for any citizens of Connecticut to bother voting anymore...since their own state’s electors will be determined by people who, mostly, have never even been to Connecticut and probably never will even visit the place.
Why not just let SorozNazi assign the electors he wants for Connecticut and be done with it? I mean, since now Connecticut voters will have essentially NO SAY WHATSOEVER in Presidential elections anymore... they’re Disenfranchised just like black people were (by the same D party) in the Southern States prior to the war of the 1860’s
If the Dems can’t win it they’ll try to Rig it
Why go through the motions of voting? It’s hard to believe how stupid the politicians are
CT residents votes now mean absolutely nothing.
basing one states votes on other states votes. This is very unconstitutional. And completely subverting the will of the constitution. I certainly hope that someone sues over this.
“Connecticut Dems just took away the voting power of CT residents, and gave it to Illegal non-Citizens in California. What the hell is wrong with these people???”
Connecticut Democrats vote like California Democrats. They are in solidarity.
Way to pervert the Constitution, Connecticut.!
(Not that Connecticut doesn’t vote reliably hard-core leftist anyway)
Connecticut calls itself “The Constitution State”.... They ought to change that, as it is false advertising.
This is great!
When Trump wins again in 2020, this time with a majority of the national vote, all these democrat states will be voting for him.
He’ll get 520 electoral votes to Pocohantas Warren’s 16.
The epitome of the surrender mentality.
This is a lose-lose for these hardcore Democrat states.
If they counted their votes, only, they would have 100% chance of giving their votes to the Democrat.
HOWEVER
Since they are intending to base it on National Popular Vote, there is a chance THOSE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES WILL GO TO THE REPUBLICAN.
There is no upside here.
This is a great idea, FOR OUR SIDE.
Southack, you once spoke of political judo. Have you been pushing this idea in liberal circles? :) :) :)
Wait, states can overrule their voters AFTER an election is over? Is this even legal? What Constitutional basis allows them to wait until Hilary loses the electoral vote but wins the popular vote, and then retroactively swiches those electoral votes to overturn A duly elected Donald Trump?
This stinks to high heaven. The commie Rats know no courtesy or lawfulness. They are flat out gangsters.
