Those living in those states, whose votes are cancelled by their unConstitutional law, would have grounds for a lawsuit, IMO. Talk about disenfranchisement!!!

I don’t know how they COULD have a lawsuit...the Constitution expressly gives the individual states the right to determine HOW their electoral votes are awarded.

I just can’t imagine a state being so STUPID as to depend upon OTHER states to get to decide HOW they’re determined...that is just ignorant.

Put it this way: You have your own money to decide WHERE you buy your groceries. You want to buy your groceries at the A&P. But your neighborhood takes a vote and decides Piggly Wiggly is better, by a vote of 8 to 1. So you decide that NOW you will only shop at Piggly Wiggly because your NEIGHBORS think Piggly Wiggly is better.

Same thing: these states are deciding to let the other states decide WHICH nominee to support, not what the CITIZENS of their state decide.

Beyond ignorant, it is insanity.
