Demented Delaware gov. signs bill awarding electoral votes to winner of national popular vote

[The Purge]

So fundamentally he just made every citizen in Del. Who votes, null and void as those citizens might as well NOT VOTE and stay home as their vote means NOTHING!!!!!.....Another DEATHRAT GREAT IDEA.... It must be the Radon gas melting their minds!

Delaware Gov. John Carney (Dingbat) signed a bill that would give the state's presidential electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, according to the Associated Press.

In signing the bill, Delaware became the 13th state to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. States that belong to the compact would award their electoral votes to whomever wins the popular vote nationally, regardless of the results in the Electoral College.

With the addition of Delaware, states that belong to the compact hold 184 electoral votes, still well short of the 270 needed to ascend to the White House.

It is amazing at all of these state legislatures and governors are willing to give control of the votes of their citizens to the populations of other states. But then these are DemonRAT controlled states and don’t care what their serfs may want. It would be nice to see how quickly they move to cancel it if the popular vote would go to President Trump in 2020.

Can't circumvent the constitution. This will be shot down.

These are all democrat voting states anyway. All they have done is make it possible for a Republican to win their state's votes.

 

[blackhawk]

Doesn't matter what these states pass the courts will shoot them down.

 

[Claudette]

Yup and it amazes me that these Governors are willing to negate the voters in their States.

They seem to want the states with the highest population to decided every election.

You can't cure stupid

You can bet your life that they would NEVER follow their own law and give the electoral votes to a Republican with most popular votes.

This so called law is nothing but hypocritical posturing befitting mentally unstable Democrats.

Delaware is Republican in many ways. They must get paid big time with progressive socialists in politics.

This will last until the people of DE, who vote overwhelmingly for the Dem candidate, see their electoral votes go to a Republican.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

It's unconstitutional.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

This is a pact among blue states therefore it's effect will be moot if democrats take the popular vote again, which is not at all a certainty.

Look how quickly the dems throw the Constitution away when they think it will benefit their lust for power. They are absolutely beneath contempt.

If the ACLU had any integrity, they would be filing lawsuits over this disenfranchisement of voters.

Just sayin'.

The Law is Unconstitutional and needs to be challenged in court.
Same with Sanctuary Cities.

Has anyone ever thought that if every state did this, the electoral college vote would always be 538-0?

Why even bother having it, even if it were constitutional?

The irony is that it will just mean that if Trump or someone like him wins the popular vote and wins every state not in the compact, the vote will 538-0.

It would never happen because then the States with Dem vote majorities would pull out of the compact.

and THAT would be one hell of a Constitutional Crisis.

The Democrats want to change the rules to make it easier for them to win.
There; nothing more to this than that.

It would be too late if they have the 270 votes required to implement the compact.

They can't pull out after the election has occurred. There is a little thing called ex post facto law. No crisis allowed.

It doesn't matter. It's unconstitutional anyway.

Ex post facto law applies mostly to people, this would be applied to the selecting of electors, and is it really ex post facto is done BEFORE the electors are certified?

Federal law prohibits a change in election law during an election.
This came up in 2000.

They would have to try, and given the time sensitive nature of the whole thing it would be a mess.

The issue is trying to sue BEFORE it has any impact, as you run into an issue of standing.

The constitution gives the state the right to allocate its EC votes as it sees fit.
