Maine votes out electoral college

]One American, One Vote. [/B]
A Californian’s vote should count as equally as a Nebraskan’s vote.

Anyone can play that geography game. 70,000 people in only three medium-sized states decided for the rest of us that a dunce who got blown out in the popular vote should be allowed to be president.

A lot of small, rural red states have more cows and corn fields than people.
Cows and corn fields do not vote, and they are not entitled to representation.

The small, rural, conservative states are already given vastly disproportionate power and advantage by over-representation in the U.S. state and in district gerrymandering in the House.

There is no plausible need that tiny, rural states need to also be given a disproportionate advantage in presidential elections. They are given more than enough disproportionate power and representation as it is.

The founding fathers were smart enough back then to see that only leads to mob rule. It never ceases to amaze me how the intellect of Democrat Americans has diminished instead of increasing.

Of course you are, but you're running like the whore you are from your claim about New York.

Thanks for another easy win.

If you consider that a win, you're welcome, hope that helps your low self esteem.
Real wins must be pretty rare for you.

Right up there with its personal attempts at getting a job or losing its virginity. ZERO.

What exactly is mob rule?

Be specific.

The ELECTORAL COLLEGE is not under STATE JURISDICTION. Maine can do no such thing.

Leftidiots gobble up whatever BULLSHIT they are SPOONFED BY THEIR MASTERS, no matter HOW RIDICULOUS and/or ASININE....

Maine can certainly disenfranchise its voters. Granted this only passed the Maine Senate at this point, but if it becomes state law, then Maine doesn't need to vote for President any more. They want the rest of the country to decide for them.

Same with California and their tax returns law.

And Georgia recently made abortion illegal. New York made after birth abortion legal.

That’s good. That means if Watermark moves to New York he can be aborted safely and legally.

If you are that fucking stupid that you do not know what it is, you should not be commenting on it.

Absolutely they can. They can moot the electoral college by requiring all their electoral vote be counted proportionally instead of winner takes all.

In that 40 year span, yes. I think Obama got a majority in '08.

What 40 year span was it?

Bush did in 2004. Bush Sr. did on 1988. Reagan did both times...

Yes, they can, a state can decide what happens with their electoral votes, in the case of Maine, they will go to the popular vote winner.

The Senate voted 19-16 to have Maine join an interstate compact in which participating states agree to award their Electoral College votes to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes nationwide. The vote fell largely along party lines, with all Republicans and two Democrats opposed to it.

Democrats. 1968 to Obama.

Or to the winner of the national popular vote, which is what Maine has done.

Well technically wouldn't Maine's votes be counted in the popular vote?
