"The Connecticut state House passed a measure Thursday that would give the state’s electoral votes to the presidential candidate who won the popular vote."

Wouldn't they be, in fact, ripping off the voters in their own State..?? I mean the people of say, West Virginia could vote 100% for some guy that supports coal, only to have their votes turned over to some pasty-faced faggot from California... I don't think that would go over too good...

The Constitution gives the states great freedom on how they can award their electoral votes. But yeah, you’re right. Voters in a state might go, say, 60 % for candidate A. And yet 100% of the state’s electoral votes could be given to candidate B.

It’s so obviously unfair that only a liberal would think of it.

’ I don’t think that would go over too good...’

except the voters would have voted for the state legislators who okayed the proposition; they can blame themselves...
