Title is wrong. Should read:
“Assachusetts Presidential Voting System Could Be Changed!!!!”
Huh?
So Mass would rather give up the power of it’s electoral votes so that LA, NY and Chicago can decide every election. lol
Idiots.
I’m all for it. Let the liberals do this and watch the rest of America revolt and finally get rid of the commie states. I welcome a new civil war so that cleansing can occur.
In other words, vote away your own state’s independence.
Apparently Chief Judge Margaret Marshall (and the her
New York Times’ husband and Master) have decided to
use the General Court to overturn the US Constitution.. again.

Years ago, I jokingly stated that someday this would happen, thanks to the left. I’m not joking anymore...and neither is slapshot. I wouldn’t start one...but if they do......
Is MA alone going to do this? If so, MA would have gone for Bush last election, as he won the popular vote.
In 2000, the difference between the top two candidates was 0.51% of the vote. That would have required waiting another week for all absentee ballots to arrive and then a full county by county national recount.
A state as small as Massachusetts doesn’t deserve 2 senators and Rhode Island shouldn’t have any. < /s >
A constitutional amendment is required to change the Federal electoral system for President/Vice President. To do that requires 3/4 majorities in both houses of Congress and concurrance by 3/4 of the states. Since the Republicans and the small states don’t like it, getting it out of Congress would be a trick. Ditto for getting it passed in the state legislatures. Not going to happen anytime soon, if ever.
Democrats: the party of endless talk about useless ideas.
LOL! This goes through and McCain wins the popular vote, Massachusetts is going to throw it’s electoral votes to him?
I’m from MA, the home of the original gay state with unelected judges making laws, a legislature more interested in being the governor, and a governor who spends more time out of state to know where he lives. Then they have the gall to increase taxes and fares to pay for union workers (MBTA) health care (presently either no copay, or about to become 10%). MA, the birth of the Revolution, and and the death of Government by and of, for the people. (Our petition to vote on same sex marriage was shut down by the cowards in the legislature.)
Now, they want to give up their power of having a say in how the president is elected. I’m not surprised by this action since the Liberal/fascist mind is power by appointment and not the voters. I’m sure it will be challenged and hopefully be struck down as being unconstitutional (Federal).
Sounds like a good lawsuit challenge. I would argue that allowing people from other states to determine how the electoral college votes of my state are placed abridges my privileges and violates my 14th Amendment rights of equal treatment and protection under the law.
I don’t care if 13 liberal states want to elect their president that way. As long as these voters remove themselves, along with their president, from the geographical boundaries of the United States, they are free to do as they wish.
North Korea might be a nice setting for their new utopian settlement.
Leftists love this bacause they know they have the populations fooled in the cities. The rural folks won’t even matter pretty soon. No one will even have to talk to them, or me.
PING
Of course, you know... this means WAR!
