There are troublesome scenarios in the offing. The "national popular vote" is very close, for example, and one of the states isn't going to count provisional ballots because it's not necessary to determine that state's electors. So now the Compact states are going to sue this other state to force them to count votes? Where does the Constitution say one state can decide how another state will choose its electors.
Another scenario is that a Republican wins the "national popular vote". Connecticut decides it just can't abide by the compact and give its electors to DJT, for example. So it decides to change its election laws after the election has been held. Their state Supreme Court is pure Libtard and allows it. SCOTUS decides not to interfere because Roberts says it's a tax or something. Now Connecticut is out of the Compact so the EVs in the Compact are now fewer than 270 so the Compact is no longer in effect. Connecticut and the other states in Compact told their voters they weren't choosing their electors, just contributing to a national popular vote. Only now they are choosing their electors. So all the people who stayed home because their votes wouldn't matter have been lied to. Yup, it will be a mess.
Hard to believe that DE was once politically competitive; no more for sure.
Little bitty Delaware will never again have a say. Delaware has 3 vs. CA with 55. Just let Los Angeles decide for now on. Better yet, lets just poll illegals as they cross.
Shouldn’t that read Delaware Governor signs bill giving his state’s/voter’s Electoral College votes to New York and California?!?
When the actual winner of those votes sues to get them back, how can he/she lose??????
So Delaware doesn’t need to vote anymore since if they do not vote for the candidate that wins the national popular vote their votes don’t matter. I think they need to study why a small state like Delaware gets electoral votes to start with.
If the Democrats attempt to throw out the electoral college in the 2020 election, the country will blow sky high.
These rogue blue states are essentially creating their own Congress, and are and making up new laws that they expect the red states to comply with.
Ain’t gonna happen.
Patently unconstitutional, and the states were ruled to have to obey the Constitution.
“The compact has so far been adopted by blue states”
How much do you want to bet that they will try to back out of the deal, if a Republican wins the popular vote?
I’m surprised they didn’t write that exception into their resolution...
I so, so want Trump to win the popular vote so that these blue states have to award him their electoral votes. That would be the sweetest possible irony.
Every Vote Counts, unless they don’t...
There was no popular vote contest in 2016 anymore than there was a talent or Miss Congeniality competition. I could not respect any national popular vote that was not based on common standards for voter registration, voter identification, vote casting, vote security, vote counting, and vote reporting.
Democrats are going to try to steal the election, one way or another.
Wouldn’t an “ National Popular Vote Interstate Compact” require an approval from Congress? Maybe they shouldn’t have used the word “Compact”?
Amazing that state are running to give away their own citizens’ votes to New York City and LA County.
'nuff said. Wonder if the Delaware Gov. has seen this?
We the Deplorables refuse to accept the results of any election that we lose in the future.
We'll remove anyone they try to seat.
