That CAN'T be constitutional, can it?
it's certainly going to go up if it comes to fruition, but i think this ruling today provides a powerful precedent for it
the gay/trans ruling from a few weeks ago was absurd on its face but the court was boxed in by precedent. this is a long term strategy for the left. that's the only reason why this is 9-0. this is a "lose the battle to win the war" scenario

You do realize that the electoral college is established by the Constitution of the United States and not the states, right? For states to try and do the "popular vote" change requires a federal constitution change. A state can't just do that on their own.

No it doesn't. That's how elections are contested. One side wins and the other side loses.
So I'm disenfranchised in GA if I voted for Stacy Abrams because she lost her bid for governor?!? Asinine reasoning there.
