A dangerous and distrubing trend. Any chance for a Federal appeal? Our founding fathers knew what they were doing. COrzine and the left wing do not.

This doesn’t mean shinola! It’s like the gay marriage issue, it won’t apply federally, or in any other state in the country. Even if it did the government would not recognize this usurping crap, and ignor the stupidity of it.

...Oh, they know exactly what they're doing. Their goal is a totalarian socialist society, and as long as they can pit their 51% against 49%, they can chip away at the basic structure of this dying constitutional republic.

This is a major step towards their goal. New Jersey's votors have just lost their voice while California has gained the electoral votes of New Jersey.

The United States is as good as dead, killed from within by the left. It's very near time to hit the 'reset' button.

Unfortunately, this is a law that is Constitutional. The Constitution provides that the method of choosing the electors will be decided by state legislators.

I won an argument with a liberal in 2000 by showing him this provision. In Florida, the court tried to determine the method of choosing the electors in violation of this provision. Since it was a matter of Constitutional law, it was proper for the Supreme Court to decide the case.

In the case of the Jersey law, it would pass Constitutional muster, but it may violate Federal voting rights statutes. It should make for a fascinating case for the Supremes.
