“National polls are POINTLESS. We elect our POTUS with 51 elections, not one.”

Actually, we now only hold 38 votes. 14 States no longer go with the electoral college. They give all electoral vote to the candidate with the most votes across the nation.

Of course, this is terribly unconstitutional since no State must report to any other State their popular vote or even use a popular voting mechanism.

It also throws away the votes of their own citizens.

I thought that only went into effect if they had the majority of the states and EC votes?

Nonsense. The little pact isn’t enforceable.

"14 States no longer go with the electoral college. They give all electoral vote to the candidate with the most votes across the nation."

Wrong!! There must FIRST be a Constitutional Amendment requiring 3/4 (38) of the States to approve of any change in the Constitution. But before that can even happen it would take 2/3 of the States to even agree to hold a Constitutional Convention (Don't hold your breath for this to happen)

"In the next presidential election after adoption by the requisite number of states (IOW a Constitutional Amendment), the participating states would award all of their electoral votes to the candidate with the largest national popular vote total across the 50 states and the District of Columbia"
