They will be sorry they opened this can of worms. It will be delicious when Trump wins the 2020 popular vote and all these blue/purple states go to him. Doh!

And after a tantrum and meltdown, the same idiots will repeal the law and want it retroactive.
“How so?”
Your state just went to Trump but Trump loses the popular. So your state awards its EC votes to the person who lost your state. You have just disenfranchised the voters of your state in a National election How the hell is it not unconstitutional?
So in 2020 all California has to do is stuff that ballot box with all of the phony ballots that can muster up as they did in 2016, and all these stupid people just gave up their voting rights. Smart.
You answered a question with a question.
You said is was unconstitutional. Tell me how. What part of the Constitution, specifically, does it violate?
“You answered a question with a question.”
It was a rhetorical question, but I’ll defer to your expertise in constitutional law.
But it's more than you, apparently.
Chicken Shit.
The Electoral College part of the Constitution. That is what it violates.
“You said is was unconstitutional. Tell me how. What part of the Constitution, specifically, does it violate?”
Section 2 of the 14th amendment?
“But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged”
Their voice would only be their reps and senators who have no say in the matter. Lets suppose a tornado ripped through the State devastating it. No federal relief funds would be routed if no emergency is declared by the President. The Governor could do it all day long but it would not help.
This is just what I heard and not sure. Welcomed to comments.
You are correct but our republic has been gone for a while now.

>>So,they can just vote away the Constitution.
NO,There will have to be a Constitutional Convention

Maybe I missed where, currently, ANY level of govt adheres to the Constitution; esp. over the last century, at least.
From Deep State, to $21T+debt/$140+ in “unfunded liabilities”, “gun control”...down to NY State just passed a “let’s see Trump’s tax returns”, most States having some form of ‘guilty until proven innocent’\anti-5th\”Asset Forfeiture”, Sanctuary Cities\Counties\towns...
Judges “decree” w/ ZERO basis on the Law of the Land == ZERO done by Congress\State legis. to impeach\disbar.
It’s a 3-co-equal-circle-jerk and We the People don’t even get a reach-around.
Article IV, section 4. “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.” Contrary to what some posters have suggested, states cannot pick electors in any way they want. They cannot choose electors on the basis of race, for example. By allowing the voters of every state to choose their electors the electors are no longer representing the citizens of their state, rather the citizens of all the states.
Article I, section 10. “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress... enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State.” Shouldn’t have to explain that one.
IN THEIR RESPECTIVE STATES - not at the national level. This shouldn't be that hard to figure out.
The former is true but the latter is not..apparently.
Point me to “Electoral College” in the Contitution.
You’ve got balls to answer without even looking.
Where it talks about Electors idiot. This is unConstitutional.
Article I could stop this. But it won't.
Kudos to you for actually providing some text though.
Better than a few of the trolls here.
Scott: This is a more compelling argument than others I've seen, but everyone gets to vote in this scenario. It's what they do with the vote outcome that is at issue.
Descending into name calling does not help your case. In my opinion this should be deemed unconstitutional but I not about to present an Amicus brief to a news forum. You have your opinion I have mine. We shall see.
