Doesn’t seem enforceable....

But what the heck, Trump is not likely to win in Illinois anyway, so those electoral college votes were already pretty well forfeit in that state.

But it does have down-ticket implications. Why go out to vote if you can't vote for your preferred presidential candidate?

As above, I don't think this is Constitutional. The Constitution prescribes the qualifications of a candidate for President, not the states.

(Even if it Trump's tax returns are ordered immediately released by order of some bat**** crazy Democrat judge on a Friday evening, it would be pointless. They are so long and complicated that they are unreadable by anything less than 1000 CPAs. The Democrats will say Trump is rich and pays as little in taxes as he can. I know Trump is rich and pays as little in taxes as he can. I don't care. I would, too, if I could afford 1000 CPAs.)

Illegal and will go down in flames like the RATs who proposed it.

How about Tax Returns for every one in Congress?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump wins every state in the union.

It's ironic that o'bummer never did produce a birth certificate yet illinois didn't even notice. The hypocrisy of liberals is astounding. Astounding.

Due to the cowardice and sloth of republicans for the last half century, liberals know they can get away with anything and everything. Abortion. Fag rights. Open borders.

And our response? To elect repugnants to office, only to have them stab us in the back.

Don't give the Democrats an inch. Better yet, strike back.

Refuse to seat any electors from Illinois and expel their Congressional delegations. Block all federal funding to the State.

Do the same for California and New Jersey.

President Trump may not win Illinois but many of us would like his name on the ballot. Either that or we would like to see every candidate’s tax returns for the past five years. Personally, I am most interested in hilldawg’s, odungo’s and JB the Hutt’s (IL governor) tax returns.

Not the point that he can’t win these states. It is a set-up to scream that they won the popular vote and electoral vote doesn’t matter.
