I can't believe people would give up their voice willingly

Might as well get rid of the concepts of states and let the Federal government control everything. Apparently these people don't get the importance of the EC.

The people who are supporting this are utter fools. They are willingly surrendering their vote and voice and that is retarded as hell.

God I will laugh so hard at the fools if Trump wins the popular vote yet lost in their state. I bet they would do some serious backpedaling then

This has a civil disaster written all over it. Just imagine if Trump wins the popular vote in 2020

New Mexico should be one of the last states to want to give up its (slight) advantage in Presidential elections via the EC.

States with smaller populations is exactly who the founding fathers were protecting with the EC in Presidential elections.

This is unconstitutional and is specifically stated out in the constitution. This is "for show" to feed their idiot left wing base.

Its going to be amazing when Trump wins more EVs than anyone since Reagan in 2020.

The thing that sucks is the Dems are going to make the delegates nonbinding so a lot will vote D anyway.

It seems the national Democrat Party’s agenda is to do this in every state where the Democrats control the state legislature and where there’s a Democrat in the Governor’s office.

Next on the party’s to do list is to increase the number of associate justices of the Supreme Court of the United States when the party controls both houses of Congress and the Presidency.

Both will fundamentally change this country.

The people who support this also think New York should be free to prosecute Paul Manafort for crimes the know he's already been convicted of on the federal level. They don't even realize how they contradict themselves.

Is there even an official national popular vote count? States are responsible for their voting procedures and vote tallies....seems fairly disconnected to me.

Then the Republic is void. It's all or none. Has to be done via a Constitutional Amendment ratified by the states.
