They'll do all this, then Trump will win the popular vote.... That would be hilarious.

Arc.

This will make it easier for the dems to manufacture a few votes in CA, a few votes in TX, and voila! They win.

11 other states haven’t “joined” the compact.

Having one chamber at the state house pass a bill doesn’t mean that it has any chance to be one law.

Yes, of course the usual suspects have passed it.

This article says it past both houses.

Again, this OP article is FAKE NEWS.

I have zero fucks to give what Colorado does.

.

Whatever. The point is that Colorado has passed the measure. That is not fake news. Colorado is plainly overrun with commies.

Yes, more of the same games from the lefties. I’d expect nothing less.

When will a suit be brought against this?

Same with this "vote harvesting" bullshit we're seeing.

Californians running away from the monster that they created and no longer could afford to feed. Same is happening in various other states on the East Coast as well as Texas. The lefties cultivate a destructive environment and when it reaches critical mass, they run towards greener pastures (normally RED states) for their lower taxes and better business environment and once settled, commence to vote for the same stupid shit they are running from to begin with.

THIS. It's happening in Texas right now: Dallas & Houston. Austin & San Antonio have been liberal for quite a while.

There is talk of a ballot measure that will probably take the form of a constitutional amendment, thus overriding the law. This was mentioned in the news piece. We/They have to get 124,000 signatures on the petition to get it on the ballot.

I used to scoff at the idea that a shooting war was possible in this country as a result of a hostile takeover. It’s sounding more possible every day.

The same thing that happens everywhere, and is bound to happen everywhere. People invested in ruling over you and your means of production have nothing but time to make this happen, and can spend all day screaming at the politicians and scamming elections. Liberty-minded people generally have little time to squander on these issues, usually pull the eject lever on local politics, and generally speaking, aren't having as many children as they used to be.

You either breed or convert liberty-minded people. That's just not happening anymore.

We’ve been overrun with people who are fleeing California and bringing their bullshit ideas that destroyed it. Boulder and Denver sway every election. A blue cesspool is putting it mildly.

Same thing as happened to Washington and Oregon, and sadly spilling over the mountains into Idaho. Or has happened to N. Virginia! And it is spreading fast.

Pretty much agree with the exception of the above!

Have you actually seen and interacted with 16 year olds recently?

It seems like a States rights issue to me. The states currently are at liberty to decide how their electoral college votes are distributed. 48 states are “all or nothing”. The remaining two distribute their votes, more or less, based on the popular vote within the state.
If individual states wish to accept a less self-serving, more democratic approach, they seem constitutionally at liberty to do so.

I don't imagine states can legislate to circumvent the fundamental constitutional structure of our electoral system. If the states want to bypass the electoral college they will need to ratify a constitutional amendment. Their national vote project will never survive a legal challenge.

And why would they apologize? They believe so strongly in THEIR cause that will say and do anything to push it forward, ....

I realize that it's a figure of speech, but I guarantee that they would be proud to be considered just exactly that; an "unapologetic commie"...

Uhhh, well yeah, that's my point. They're proud communists.

I am not much of a salesman. OTOH I am working on seeing that the 2 I sired know and appreciate liberty and libertine concepts.

I'm no lawyer, but this seems to be about the same as a state passing a law to rescind women's voting rights. I am pretty sure a state cannot pass a law to overturn the Constitution.

But then again several have passed laws essentially overturning the second amendment.

The Electoral College is the only thing protecting middle America against the regressive socialist communists (God Damned Commies) takeover of this country. The GDCs hate middle America.
They will do anything for power, including this blatant attempt to overturn the Constitution.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

It's mostly due to a massive influx of assholes from the west and east coasts that didn't like the shit holes they came from and are bound and determined to fuck it up here.
