California & NY & IL are not enough to kill the electoral college. Rats need to get Ohio & Florida to do the job.

It’s completely inconceivable to me how or why the people of a state would vote for this. I have zero understanding of how this has any appeal at all.

The rats are busy gathering as many states with few electoral votes as well. I think this movement is a real threat, so many don’t understand the electoral college and believe their votes would count more with popular vote. People in small states like where I live in NM have no clue how the electoral college works FOR them.

I’m wondering how this might help Trump, give him an even bigger landslide in 2020.

Have they even glanced at that thingy written some 200 plus years ago regarding how the president is elected? Cause I do believe there are some words which would put a spanner in their scheme.

The theory is that it is legal because the states have a right to run their elections. I am not a lawyer so no idea but that was the talking point when our legislature was discussing it.

They’re voting on whether to disenfranchise themselves (and their children).

“you want California to cast Ohio’s votes?”

that should be the ad against this initiative - and it ought to kill it.

An Ohio vote is virtually meaningless then.

States can pass laws. They need ‘permission’ from Congress to enter into any compact or agreement between the states.

It’s not unconstitutional.

It is stupid.

In other words - Ohio voters could very well have their electoral votes go to a candidate they did NOT choose... this is absurd.
