Their vote is meaningless seeing other states have to go along with their change in the electoral college and how the state vote will go with the national vote...
They're trying to set a trend but it will not take...

This is, by definition, a troll thread. The subject line is false and has absolutely nothing to do with the subject raised in the OP. Whatever will happen to this thread, I wonder?

Just because I used the wrong word doesn't mean it's trolling. It just means I used the wrong word. Additionally, not once did I say anyone was strong on critical thought.

I've already fired off my disapproval to my Representatives.
We weren't too happy when O'Malley made this decision.
He was intent on Republicans never setting foot in office.
Now they want it changed.
Too late.

Actually, moron, if you paid attention you'd see that the link is from 2007. Under the law, Maryland will award its electoral votes to the person who wins the nation wide popular vote, if a majority of the several states adopt the same system. Until that happens, Maryland's electors will continue to be awarded under the "old" system, i.e. to the person who wins the popular vote within the state.

I still think it's bold and it makes a statement.
Trump stood up against how the majority in the media was painting this whole process.
If he can make a difference and influence others to swim upstream against the powers that be,
so can the people of Maryland send a different message.
Someone else pointed out, that the House still approves the electoral college vote.
If Trump freaks out enough GOP and Dems in Congress over his picks for his cabinet,
some might bail out and approve if the Electors do change the game to give Clinton 270 votes.

Did you happen to check the date on your article? Also -
The measure would award Maryland's 10 electoral votes to the national popular vote winner. The plan would only take effect if states representing a majority of the nation's 538 electoral votes decided to make the same change.
I don't believe that ever occurred.
>> Raskin, a Democrat, said he hoped Maryland's support for the idea will start a national discussion and "kick off an insurrection among spectator states - the states that are completely bypassed and sidelined" during presidential campaigns.
"Going by the national popular vote will reawaken politics in every part of the country," Raskin said. <<
"Going by the national popular vote will reawaken politics in every part of the country," Raskin said. <<
Good idea. That's a band-aid at least.
We don't need California to follow -- we need all the states to follow
But they tried it there:
>> California lawmakers adopted the measure last year, but Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed it.
National Popular Vote, a group that supports the change, said there are legislative sponsors for the idea in 47 states. Ryan O'Donnell, a spokesman for the group, described O'Malley's decision to sign the legislation as "an open invitation" for other states to join Maryland.
But not everyone is buying into the idea. North Dakota and Montana rejected it earlier this year. Opponents say the change would hurt small rural states, where the percentage of the national vote would be even smaller than the three electoral votes they each have in the overall Electoral College. <<
Boo the **** hoo. It's supposed to be "one man one vote" not "one state one vote".
Doesn't "hurt small rural states" at all It would in fact do the same thing for them that it does everywhere else ---- reenfranchise all of their population who dissents from their states "all or nothing" EV farce, which effectively means those voters have NO VOTE at all. And that discourages voting. That can't be more obvious.
Well discouraging voting is never a good thing.
