“Bypassing” is a bad word. This isnt unconstitutional at all.
According to Article 2, Section 1:
“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress..”
The Constitution says it is up to the state to decide how their electors are to be distributed.
States like Maine and Nebraska have split their electoral votes by congressional districts.
The States have a right to do this. It is perfectly constitutional.
As long as other clauses of the Constitution are not violated in the process. Would this be an illegal dilution of the vote of a Mass. citizen (Equal Protection argument)? If there is a trigger clause as some states consider to say the law only goes into effect of a certain percentage of other states adopt similar laws is this a violation of the No Compact clause (Article I Section 10)?
Yes, and so would a state law decreeing that a states electors must be cast for the Democrat, or Republican, or Communist party, no matter what the results of the actual vote in that state are.
Save a lot of money on campaigning, and election day polling costs.
What the States dont have a right to do is "bypass" the electoral college, that is, if they want their states votes to be counted towards who gets to be POTUS.
The Massachusetts electors can go over to Barney Franks homosexual whore house and cast their votes there, but it wouldn't mean much.
