It is amazing how elected state legislators are rushing to neuter themselves and give away their own power
Then again, their ideology promotes men to cut off their penis in an ultimate sign of ideological purity, so we shouldn’t be surprised.
I’ve read that that “compact” is unconstitutional because states can’t do things lie that without Congressional consent. For example: The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is a body that controls roads,bridges,airports and ports in both states. It exists because Congress gave its approval.
And the first time a Republican wins the national vote, states in this compact would jump up and down saying it’s unconstitutional and the electoral college must be used, especially if the dem would win using this method.
Cake and eat it too..
Getting rid of the electoral college would mean election campaigns would be held only in New York, and California.
I could almost see that as a benefit, since ALL of the electoral college votes go to the winner in those 2 states, even if 49% of the vote are against.
The problem is that those states have so any electoral college electors. The GOP starts with over a hundred vote disadvantage.
I’d rather see a state be split up or change to one electoral vote PER DISTRICT (get rid of winner-take-all)
Yet they try to convince us that MI is a blue State.
Let’s say Trump wins the election. But Michigan voted for Biden. So Michigan is required to override the will of their voters by giving all the EVs to Trump?
“...left-wing scheme to take over states’ elections...”
They already have.

And everybody else.
“Michiganders”
So is the opposite of “Michigander”, “Michjgoose”?
Without the Electoral College, the biden era would have begun in 2017—under hillary!!!
There might not be any USA at all by now!
Keep the Electoral College!!!!
I am of the opinion that we need a constitutional amendment regarding how electors are allocated.
Each congressional district should award their electoral vote to the candidate that wins a majority in that district. If no candidate wins a majority, a run off election between the top two candidates should be held 30 days later.
States also have two additional electoral votes. One should go to the candidate that wins the most districts and the second should go to the candidate that wins the most votes within the state. If for any reason, the state votes are undecided, the state legislature should meet in unicameral session and assign the electoral vote to one of the legal candidates running for election.
Not a prayer. Never going through NC or SC (and frankly, probably not ever going through ME or AZ for the foreseeable future), and the Marxists need ALL to even have a shot at 270.
Biden, Trump, a Trump supporter and a Biden supporter were in an airplane with no parachutes that was going down if they didn’t lighten the load. After throwing out everything that wasn’t bolted down (and some things that were), the plane was still too heavy. So, they decided to vote on who would be thrown out. The vote was 2 for Biden and 674 for Trump.
“... would make Michigan electorally irrelevant”
No mention how The Constitution would fare. </sarc>
Of course it is because everything the Left does is unconstitutional.
The Constitution protects our freedom against oppressive and unjust government.
The LOVES oppressive and unjust government.
“Hill” talks about “left-wing schemes”?
WOW!
Yup, and Maryland already signed onto this betrayal of our popular vote.
Throw away your electoral votes to the whims of the fool majority in the whole country?
How can this even be constitutional?
Terrific. Why not just let the idiot voters on either coast run America? I mean, CA and NY (aided by DC!) are proving that they care doing SUCH a STELLAR JOB of running their own states. *Rolleyes*
(Last person out of NYC and LA - please turn out the lights!)
Quit screwing with the one and only properly designed Constitution in the world! If you can’t sell your Communist Agenda without fraud and arem-twisting, it’s obvious that the majority of ‘We The People’ don’t WANT what you’re selling!
Michiganders? Knock it off! Unfortunately YOU are also part of ‘Flyover Country’ and we need all the help we can get these days!
Does this mean that the Electoral College would be eliminated? If it does, NY and Cali will determine elections, right?
