The federal Voting Rights lawsuit needs to be to disqualify all of these states’ electoral votes from being counted in the total.

I’m a strong believer in the Electoral College and what they are doing is really doing us all a disservice.

But I believe Trump will win the popular vote this year and I delight in thinking they will have to support him in the EC.

Serves them right.

If these popular vote jackasses want the constitutional compact to be broken then, fine, keep on this path. However: Disenfranchising me is going to make me very angry. Very very angry. Very very very angry.

No worries. If enough lib states do this to constitute 270 EV (and lib states are the only ones that want this), then Kentucky, Tennessee, Utah, and so on, can suddenly discover 38 million (R) votes in someone’s trunk each and every election. Fight fire with fire. Libs are stupid, use that to your advantage.

We have to get the truth out, the national popular vote is really only California.

It's Official: Clinton's Popular Vote Win Came Entirely From California

Sadly media has made it seem unfair, that the majority of Americans didn't win. But if you watch any replay of 2016 election night you'll notice Trump won on national popular right through the end.

The EC is the firewall that protects us from deep blue states like Kalifornia that harbor millions of illegal voters.

Vetoed; however, any state that did this is disenfranchising their citizens votes. To that end, SCOTUS would easily overturned this travisty.

a scheme to amend the Constitution without actually amending the Constitution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kind of like they did with the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

This is a terrible idea, but it actually motivates republicans in blue states to vote, because while they can’t win their state, they can increase the popular vote. President Trump should spen a lot of time in blue states.

Problem is they are not following Constitutional guidelines for amending the constitution. Their decision will only effect Nevada and their ability to influence Presidential elections. They just gave it all away to California.
Democrats are stupid (see AOC’s most recent comment on Chinese missiles) and just like to commit political suicide.

State politicians and citizens, even those believing in a strong Federal union, used to jealously guard their own power, independence and advantage.

Now, we can say that the vast majority of both politicians and citizens have willingly given up their own sovereignty and rights to a vast, centralized and distant government.

Why is that?

Keep in mind, the spoilers hold the United States Senate itself in equal disdain as the Electoral College. Maybe more.

They have to do things in a certain order, practically speaking.

...an agreement between the states to give their electoral vote to the national popular vote winner ...

Obviously this risks an absolute disaster if/when the popular vote is too close to call. Since the US Code (Title 3 Chapter 1 Section 7) mandate is for the Electors to be determined by "§ 7. The electors of President and Vice President of each State shall meet and give their votes on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December next following their appointment at such place in each State as the legislature of such State shall direct.", what happens if the count is too close, if there is a judicial delay (Bush v Gore 2000) or something else?

The Progressive LEFT thinks that this would be a win for them with their putative lock on vote-rich LEFTist California. Me, I see the potential for a massive self-inflicted FUBAR that could easily lead to CW2!

Unconstitutional.
Doesn’t withstand the first minutes in court.
