It's a naked power grab by the democrats since they realized that it simply doesn't matter how many extra votes they get in CA, they still get the same number of EC votes. That's why they were whining for the last 4 years about Hillary winning the popular vote but losing the election.States are supposed to look after states interests, not a national referendum.How is it unconstitutional?
The Constitution leaves it up to the states to decide how they award their Electoral Votes
So states that are forgone conclusions are thinking that they have more power (today they have next to none) if they sign on to a popular vote.. At least that way they get a look in...
It is not just Blue States but many Red States are asking why Presidential Candidates never visit them either... They never get the National Conferences... They don't get the special attention of being a swing state...
So when you are being ignored you might as well get some say... Smart States...
The with the RWNJs here is they don't know why America by the will of the people. They see nothing wrong with themselves taking power against the will of the people... This is a common trait by dictators, they justify it by saying that some people are too stupid to understand how great of a leader they are...
Then those people complain and they are disappeared, murdered or sent to a work camp(called reeducation camp) because they don't understand how great there leader is..
The leader tells them there country is the best (e.g. best economy ever, least racist,...) and knows more than than expert (Generals, Medical Experts, economists). When it is pointed that is factually wrong, he and his supporters deride the complains as fake and the source is anti American....
Is any of this familar?
It is a naked power grab... It is a power grab by a majority of American People to pick the President.
Now you want a minority of the American People to pick the President...
Considering US was set up on the premise that all men are created equal...
Please explain why a minority of people should pick the president?
CA Republicans should have input into the election just as much as TX Democrats....
The reason you don't want democracy is because you think you will loose... How about having better policies?
