Technically the least educated did vote Trump in 2016 @ 51%. By contrast Obama won 65% of the least educated in 2012.

At the end of the day, I don't like to sound like an arrogant, d-bag, talking down about the poor. I'll leave that to the Democrats. I want the poor & working classes to have access to good paying career jobs & I want them to earn higher wages. Both of those things are finally happening under Trump, which is one of the reasons I support Trump.

President Obama didn’t help either.

It's good news for those who like order instead of disorder.

Kudos to the governor for getting it right.

You know it's a big deal... you are only fooling yourself with that last comment.

The righties getting all worked up about Nevada democrats "destroying the nation" was much ado about nothing.

The issue itself was of some importance, but I don't think it's ever going to happen so it was largely symbolic.

States doing this on their own that are blue/purplish without a clear 270 votes based on the popular vote may have this backfire on them. Trump can go to states like California/NY... "You may not be able to change the vote in California but you can in Nevada".


An election based on the popular vote changes it dramatically because everyone has a reason to vote, in this case with only more liberals states EC votes at risk the incentive is 100% on the conservative side.
