This should be titled the “Why bother to vote at all?” bill. That way the Democrats wouldn’t have to waste money setting up polling places in casinos.

Sounds like a good platform to run on and remove Harry Reid and his flying monkeys.
Simple question "do you support the Constitution of the United States, you say yes, but you vote against it, why is that (name of cretin here)"

These idiots don’t understand the math. They’ve just taken voting power away from their state’s voters and given it to others. What do I mean? Take Texas as an example: Only voters in Texas affect how their electors will vote. Texas voters now also affect how Nevada’s electors vote. Therefore, votes in Texas are now worth more than votes in Nevada. (You can replace Texas with any other state the uses the Constitutional system.)

The States choose their electors in accordance with the manner chosen by their Legislatures. If, however, a Legislature decides to choose its electors by a vote, then all kinds of Federal Voting Rights considerations are in effect (no poll tax, etc.).
These states are telling their people that they are holding an election but it will not decide their electors. Their people's votes will simply be added to the mythical "popular vote" which will determine their electors.
- Who will determine the national popular vote? There is no requirement for the Federal government to do so. Are these states going to take CNN's word for it?
- Wouldn't it be great if a few states decided they weren't going to count absentee ballots because the issue isn't in doubt as to who won. Then what happens to the states in the cabal? If the election is close and the uncounted absentee ballots have the potential to change the result, what happens? Can you see cabal states suing Electoral College states demanding that they count their absentees?
- What's the backup plan? If a mess occurs and a state says they can't determine the popular vote winner, how do their electors get chosen? Are they really telling their people their votes don't chose the electors but, if the popular vote can't be determined, then they really do? New term: "Electoral FUBAR".
