Every state doing this is a Demonicrat state and no Republican state will agree to this and it's also likely not going to be constitutional....it's a good "pissing in the wind" exercise for the Demonicrats though. I still think TDS stupidity is fun when it's not violent.

Where did you see that?

NYC, and L.A. should NOT dictate to the entire U.S. The Electoral College was put in place, and has remained for our entire existence as a Constitutional Republic. There is a good reason it is there, and if people want to get rid of it, they should move to amend the Constitution. The Constitution has been amended many times before. If enough people want it changed it can be changed legally.

The left is still throwing the largest temper tantrum of all time. All over Hillary Clinton losing, she’s hardly worth it.

Good!

Elections should go to the winner, not whoever meets some 18th century convoluted formula.

The EC has proven itself a miserable failure.

They are about to eliminate their ability to vote for president. If enacted, no candidate will bother even stopping in the majority of the states. All presidents will come from 6 urban centers with no clue about what the rest of the country needs.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.

It's up to NV to decide for themselves, just as it is for every state.

Generally speaking, this is just empty pandering.

It’s worked fine for over 200 years and since Hillary lost its now an 18th century convoluted formula.

You're wrong. It is not about Hillary. It is also about W. It is also about having a succession of presidents who were rejected by the majority or plurality of the people but who are made president against the will of the people.

The Right wants the status quo because the nation as a whole has rejected their ideology and this is their last bastion of keeping presidential power.
