‘A few states have foolishly voted to give their Electoral College electors to the national popular vote winner and thus discard the votes of their own people in their state.’
really...? name those states...?
Colorado passed this law. However I don’t think it is in effect until a majority of states pass the same bill. It’s an effort to circumvent the electoral college.
Looking at Wikipedia site it shows: Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Illinois, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, and Rhode Island, and the District of Columbia. It's pending in: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina.
They've voted that they will do it once enough states to equal 270 electoral votes likewise vote to adopt the strategy.
