11 Democrat states have formed a pact to sabotage the Electoral College

Connecticut To Give Its Electoral College Votes To National Popular Vote Victor

Connecticut voted to give its Electoral College Votes to the national popular vote victor. The state Senate voted 21-14 on Saturday to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which includes 10 states and the District of Columbia. The state House passed the measure last week, 77 to 73. California, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and the District of Columbia have already signed the accord.

This might give the Corrupt Democratic Party permanent control.
With permanent control the Corrupt Democrats will be able ignore the laws and the constitution and nobody could stop them. What do you think will happen to America if the Democrats are undefeatable?

Question:

Why don't RWNJs believe that their vote should be counted?

Hmmm ?

Why do LWNJs believe that they should override the voters of a state? If Connecticut votes in favor of a candidate that doesn't get the majority of the nationwide popular vote, their votes are nullified.

It's a rhetorical question. We all understand that you Progs don't respect the Will of the People.

Voters of the State are already over ridden.....by the electoral college....and by states giving ALL of the state's electors to the winner....instead of giving electors to how the vote turned out in their state..... so there already isn't a representation of the voters in the State...by how they have the winner taking ALL electors fro every congressional districts, even if the congressional district, voted for someone else.

except my state....and one other state, can't remember who....they allot the electors they get for each congressional district, by who won the congressional district in the popular vote that the elector represents..... the two extra electors given to each state representing their two senators, goes to the overall winner of the state. we only have two congressmen in my state, thus 2 congressional districts, Trump won one, and Hillary won the other, and the overall populace in the state vote, went to Hillary by a hair or two..... so Trump got one elector, Hillary got one from the congressional district she won, plus the two electors representing the senators, which went to Hillary, because she won the popular vote....so Hillary got 3 electors, and Trump got 1....... in other states, all of the electors would have gone to Hillary the way they set up their electors, and there is no representation for the people who voted for Trump....

I'm not certain this new change will change much in those states that are now joined in this new measure..... the Dem candidate most always wins the overall popular vote and the popular vote in their states.... so how this new measure changes that in any way is unclear to me?

I personally think that all states should do it like Maine....then independents have a better chance at winning or at least getting some electors.... the way it is set up now in most states, the independent always gets ZERO electors, even if they had nearly 20% of the overall popular vote like Ralph Nader got a few decades ago......yet he received ZERO electoral votes??? just nuts how the dems and repubs kill the chances for any independent....

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Explanation It has been enacted into law in 11 states with 165 electoral votes (CA, DC, HI, IL, MA, MD, NJ, NY, RI, VT, WA). This interstate compact will take effect when enacted by states with 105 more electoral votes. It has passed at least one house in 12 additional states with 96 electoral votes (AR, AZ, CO, CT, DE, ME, MI, NC, NM, NV, OK, OR) and been approved unanimously by committee votes in two additional states with 27 electoral votes (GA, MO). The bill has recently been passed by a 40–16 vote in the Republican-controlled Arizona House, 28–18 in Republican-controlled Oklahoma Senate, 57–4 in Republican-controlled New York Senate, 34-23 in Democratic-controlled Oregon House, and 26-16 in the New Mexico Senate.

Nonsense. What CT is doing is complete disregarding the results of its statewide vote. That is not at all equivalent to a state counting its votes, and awarding electoral votes to the winner.

The other state that splits like that is Nebraska. It's marginally better than a WTA system but only by a hair and insignificantly so.

WTA keeps the Duopoly entrenched and ensures that no other gods will come before it, ever. So as long as we put up with it, that's what we're stuck with.

Interestingly James Madison, one of the main creators of the EC, wanted a Constitutional Amendment that would ban WTA. Even though it would have hurt his state to do so.

What states are ALREADY doing is disregarding the results of their statewide votes. Every time a New York Ior a Texas) goes to Congress and says "wow it's amazing, everybody in our state voted for the blue candy (the red candy), and it was unanimous", which they in fact do every four years, they're spitting in the faces of everybody in that state for whom that wasn't the case, who completely wasted their time going to the polls at all.

I personally think that all states should do it like Maine....then independents have a better chance at winning or at least getting some electors.... the way it is set up now in most states, the independent always gets ZERO electors, even if they had nearly 20% of the overall popular vote like Ralph Nader got a few decades ago......yet he received ZERO electoral votes??? just nuts how the dems and repubs kill the chances for any independent....

Nonsense. What CT is doing is complete disregarding the results of its statewide vote. That is not at all equivalent to a state counting its votes, and awarding electoral votes to the winner.

What states are ALREADY doing is disregarding the results of its statewide vote. Every time a New York or a Texas goes to Congress and says "wow it's amazing, everybody in our state voted for (the blue candy/the red candy), and it was unanimous", which they in fact do every four years, they're spitting in the faces of everybody in that state for whom that wasn't the case, who completely wasted their time going to the polls at all.

Just move back north, then your vote will count pogo, problem solved..

I already moved north to get here, geographically challenged person.

That's why I moved south so I don't have to bother to vote.

Now you have a point. But aren't you in the purple Carolina?

Say what? You posted over and over again you moved to around ashville from penn.

Nope, never done that. But thanks for that blast from the past, I haven't seen the abbreviation "Penn" since like 1963. I moved here from Sleaziana.

"Ashville" is in Alabama btw. But I was in Asheville recently.

Perhaps it's time to take the power of Federal elections out of the hands of the States and place it with the Federal government itself.

One set of standards for how Popular Votes are translated into Electoral College Votes.

Even if it means amending the Constitution to do it.

Don't make me waste my time searching your posts, you said over and over again you were a northern transplant in North Carolina

That's what Madison said.

He didn't shout it though. Maybe he should've.

Connecticut To Give Its Electoral College Votes To National Popular Vote Victor

Connecticut voted to give its Electoral College Votes to the national popular vote victor. The state Senate voted 21-14 on Saturday to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which includes 10 states and the District of Columbia. The state House passed the measure last week, 77 to 73. California, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and the District of Columbia have already signed the accord.

This might give the Corrupt Democratic Party permanent control.
With permanent control the Corrupt Democrats will be able ignore the laws and the constitution and nobody could stop them. What do you think will happen to America if the Democrats are undefeatable?

After what we are seeing today with Donald, Michael, Stormy, Avenatti, etc., the GOP does not deserve to be in charge.

The GOP must die and be resurrected as a new party of conservatism and morality. Trump and those who support him must go to the trash bin.

Any state that permits sanctuary-for-illegals policies within its jurisdiction should have its federal votes discarded until such policies are ended due to the high potential for fraud.

You don't need illegals to establish potential for fraud. All you need is a Tweeter account and a dollop of butthurt self-delusion.

Question:

Why don't RWNJs believe that their vote should be counted?

Hmmm ?

Why do LWNJs believe that they should override the voters of a state? If Connecticut votes in favor of a candidate that doesn't get the majority of the nationwide popular vote, their votes are nullified.

It's a rhetorical question. We all understand that you Progs don't respect the Will of the People.

Voters of the State are already over ridden.....by the electoral college....and by states giving ALL of the state's electors to the winner....instead of giving electors to how the vote turned out in their state..... so there already isn't a representation of the voters in the State...by how they have the winner taking ALL electors fro every congressional districts, even if the congressional district, voted for someone else.

except my state....and one other state, can't remember who....they a lot the electors they get for each congressional district, by who won the congressional district in the popular vote that the elector represents..... the two extra electors given to each state representing their two senators, goes to the overall winner of the state. we only have two congressmen in my state, thus 2 congressional districts, Trump won one, and Hillary won the other, and the overall populace in the state vote, went to Hillary by a hair or two..... so Trump got one elector, Hillary got one from the congressional district she won, plus the two electors representing the senators, which went to Hillary, because she won the popular vote....so Hillary got 3 electors, and Trump got 1....... in other states, all of the electors would have gone to Hillary the way they set up their electors, and there is no representation for the people who voted for Trump....

who won the state's popular vote in the last election? Clinton.

who won the nation's popular vote? Clinton

so exactly how does this new measure really change that?

I suggest you review the structure of our government...especially the bit about being a Federal Republic made up of STATES. The design is expressly to prevent the mob majority bully rule into which pure "democracy" always descends.

Would having the president be elected by the national popular vote suddenly turn the country into a pure democracy?
