Re: The Electoral College
I am sure the intent of this is to get EC votes to the DEM candidate. But when trump wins the popular vote, do you really think states like Washington, New York, and ca, will just send their votes to trump???
This is just another dem way to manipulate an election in favor of them.

Re: The Electoral College
Nope itÂ’s true for all states. LetÂ’s say Oklahoma decides to split the voters.so one candidate is going to get 4 electoral votes and another 3 electoral votes. So that is a net 1 for the winner. Now say Delaware does not split votes, winner gets net 3 votes in a less populous state. Oklahoma has diminished its influence

Re: The Electoral College
The anti-EC crowd would go nuts. Especially if electoral votes awarded got swung the other way. For example, FL currently has 14 of 27 representatives as Republicans. WI is 4 of 8, but one seat is vacant. So if the Dem won those states, but under that scenario the delegation casts their vote for the Republican? Holy shit would they go nuts! The election would have been "stolen" twice! PA is 9 out of 18. That would be interesting to see how they determine which way to go. That I'm sure would wind up in the Supreme Court if it came down to that vote making the difference.

I just wanted to chime in... I don't know as much as you all about this topic, but this has been a really fascinating thread. Good work you all.
