More “Winning!”
The people have spoken..........
If a Republican won the Popular Vote, these Laws would be rescinded before the Weekend after the Election.
If they want the Popular Vote to determine the next POTUS, they had better support a National Voter ID Law as well.
You know, show us your Papers kind of stuff./s
What California-raised Jared Polis tried to pull in selling out the state’s influence in presidential elections to California was garbage. I hope the people of the state ‘veto’ him.
Yes! Most excellent.
The legislature won’t listen because their loyalty is to the DNC NOT the citizens of the state.
Ignore the will of the people at their peril!.........
Badnews news for Democrats.
Of course, We the People are too stupid to vote. Big Brother will now make all our decisions.
For your interest.
I am of the opinion that the best way to stop the Popular Vote effort is to have 26 States pass state constitutional amendments that define how the electors will be decided for each state. As long as the states do not pass amendments supporting the Popular Vote, and if 26 states enact such amendments, there will never be enough states to pass the Popular Vote.
Personally, I would prefer each state pass amendments to follow the district system - each district awards it’s elector to the candidate that wins 50%+1 vote, run off if no one gets 50%. The two “senator” electors get awarded - 1 to the candidate that wins the most districts and 1 to the candidate that wins the most overall votes in the state. Gov decides ties in either of the senator electoral awards.
I prefer this plan as it maintains the Republic nature of the US and disenfranchises the fewest possible voters.
If a Republican won the Popular Vote, these Laws would be rescinded before the Weekend after the Election.
And if it looks like a Republican is going to win the popular vote, these laws would be rescinded the weekend BEFORE the election.
This being on the ballot could help flip CO in 2020...
If the Illegal Invaders Voted Republican instead of Democrat, you would be able to see the Bill Clinton Southern Border Wall from Space.
I am all for the Nebraska/Maine Electoral College system. One Electoral vote for the winner of each Congressional district, and two Electoral votes for the winner of the overall state count.
Oddly enough, they are so stupid they assume a static world where the popular vote patterns of 2016 would remain the same. But how many people in New York, California, Washington state, Massachusetts, and other democrat strongholds stay home because of defacto one party rule?
They might find millions of repubs behind their iron curtain with a new reason to vote. Careful what you wish for. .
If the voters of a state give the majority of their votes to one candidate and the state government gives their electoral votes to someone else, that is called tyranny of government
