Right up until the victor is a Republican. Then they’ll change their mind.
Under this scenario Wyoming, Montana, West Virginia, Idaho, etc. retain NO power. Cali and NYC will determine who the President will be.
So your vote for President in Connecticut doesn’t count?
So a useless bill that will die aborning
they just disenfranchised all ct voters.
I’d be ticked off if I were a Dem in Connecticut. Connecticut always votes Democrat. In a close race electorally, if the Republicans wins the popular vote, this could result in the Republican candidate edging out the Democratic one.
Looking forward to the Supreme Court turning this one down.
Just so wrong.
Notice to citizens of Connecticut:
Your votes no longer matter in a federal election for President.
Soon to include votes for other federal offices.
Don’t bother showing up for federal elections anymore.
The Connecticut socialist-democrats thank you for your non-cooperation.
Good luck on the road to 270! Where else do they believe they can win?
.
Not constitutional!
Also not in accordance with the SCOTUS “one man, one vote” decision.
The states must count votes.
.
The People of Connecticut are only harming themselves by getting involved with this crap.They just dealt themselves out of the deal.
They will be dependent on the larger States now for any political influence.
Interesting in looking at the popular vote and the elected
President very few won with a majority of over 50% of
the total votes cast.
They are all going to look pretty silly giving their electoral votes to Trump.
This is the third thread today on this news item, perhaps more. Here is a comment that I made on the first thread that summarized the issues. You might want to pour a drink before you begin reading, it’s a little long.

Only deep blue lefty states have passed this. When they get an actual red state, or a purple state like Florida, to sign up for this, wake me up, until this is just seems like leftist state legislature butthurt.
There is not even any such thing as a “national popular vote” as these are just a combining of stats from completely different elections.
The legislature of this state has just undermined their role as a member of the Union.
Since when have Nutmeggers ever been right?
Doesn’t that disenfranchise the Connecticut voter.
Can this be challenged for violating the Constitution?
