Colorado (and others) vote to allow CA and NY to pick Prez for them.

Under the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, CO and 11 other States have signed into law Bills that pledge their Electoral College votes to the winner of the national popular vote.

So no matter what the voters of those particular states might want, their votes no longer really count and Presidential Candidates needn't bother even showing up in many of them. As long as the candidate swings CA and NY the rest blindly go along.

Apparently this will only take effect once there are enough States signed up to account for 270 Electoral College votes.

So the conservative counties need to pull out of their states and form their own states as they're essentially disenfranchised.

They essentially vote to take away all their power in national elections...brilliant.

Liberals love to make the argument that the electoral college is just a vestige of the past that needs to be brought up to current times. They love to point to slavery, 3/5 clause, women voting etc as some sort of justification for this old view. The reality is, the founders actually studied countries like France, where Paris dictated policy for the whole country and decided that would not work here. The electoral college was actually a response to urban tyranny that the founders saw at that time.

Fast forward to now. Elizabeth Warren was actually arguing that a national popular vote would be better and that states like Missouri (where she was speaking) would get more visits from Presidential candidates if we went to a popular vote.

How the f*** does she figure that and why were those people clapping?

A national popular vote would subject the entire country to the tyranny of the biggest cities. Do you really want the country run like Chicago, Baltimore, NYC, LA and others?

People are idiots, even 10 minutes of research would show the folly in this nonsense. This is almost as dumb as pretending 16 year olds should vote.

They won't get the participation they need, so I am not worried. Imagine for one minute that Trump got the national popular vote, does anyone really think that CA wouldn't ditch this compact (something signing the agreement prohibits) in order to give it's vote the whomever won the state.

Yea, so much fail here.

Did you not read the linked articles. That state CO (and the others) have all passed Bills to that effect?

And we "ARIZONA" are not immune to this issue. There have been bills floated around in our Legislation sessions for the past 2-3 years. Several Repubs & Democrats have signed up for it. The good news is this session is almost over and it wasn't brought up for a vote. Wait till next year. Bye bye Arizona !

Well holy sh*t. That is pretty messed up. I have a feeling they are going to get push back from the electoral college members in their state.
