Those states made a dumb decision
They feel the EC disenfranchises their voters and resolve this issue by disenfranchising their voters

Virginia?
ETA: it went to a vote in the state legislature and failed.
Not Virginia.

Democrats could screw up a wet dream

If that happens, you’ll see lawsuits out the arse.
It is one of those situations, like the nuclear option, where people truly believe there is no way it could be used against them.
Very naive.
That isn’t to say that I believe that Trump will win the popular vote, but you never give your enemy a weapon to use against you.

The vast majority of that legislation was contingent upon the passage of similar legislation in an adequate number of states to control the election. That has not happened, so I don’t think very many states will see this legislation come into play. Perhaps none.

Dang. I was going to laugh my arse off at Virginia being literally the only state to go blue

It doesn't work like that. They only engage that law once enough states that equal or exceed 270 electoral votes have passed it.

And the second it does it will be challenged in court and shot down as unconstitutional.

I fully expect some liberal judge in some of those states to issue a ruling a couple of days before those states officially have to turn in their electoral votes, all for Trump, to say that ruling is unconstitutional and the state can't do that. You watch.

only takes effect when there are enough states to sign up totaling 270 EC votes...
Posted on 10/23/20 at 7:54 am to Tiguar
I bet an open hand slap to the face they change their minds if trump wins the popular vote.
Posted on 10/23/20 at 7:55 am to Tiguar
Like they'll actually follow their laws if Trump wins the popular vote.

It doesn’t matter. They can’t

Sorry, but there is NO WAY Trump outpolls Biden in the vote totals. Dems have outpolled (popular vote) Repubs every time this century except 2004.
Biden will get at least 5 million more votes than Trump.

Laws that are only good in the hands of one party are laws that shouldn’t be around at all!

I'm pro-electoral college existing, but yall are dead wrong about Trump winning the popular vote.
He's got a shot to be re-elected for sure but I'll bet anything with any terms you want that Biden wins the popular vote. Not that it matters of course, I just hate blind delusion and this board has been more full of that this year than usual.
