Nobody will ever need to campaign in Ct anymore

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/07/609060190/connecticut-oks-bill-pledging-electoral-votes-to-national-popular-vote-winner?

Connecticut is poised to commit its electoral votes to whichever U.S. presidential candidate wins the nation's popular vote — regardless of who wins the state.

By embracing the plan, Connecticut's General Assembly gave new momentum to a push to change how Americans elect their president.

Ten states and the District of Columbia are already in a compact to pool their electoral votes and pledge them to the popular-vote winner. With Connecticut added, the compact's voting power would rise to 172 — fewer than 100 electoral votes away from the 270-vote majority that decides the presidential contest.

Connecticut's Senate gave final approval to the bill over the weekend, using a 21-14 vote to send the legislation to Gov. Dannel Malloy — who responded by saying, "I applaud the General Assembly for passing this commonsense legislation."

"With the exception of the presidency, every elected office in the country, from city council, to United States senator, to governor, is awarded the candidate who receives the most votes," Malloy said in a statement. "The vote of every American citizen should count equally, yet under the current system, voters from sparsely populated states are awarded significantly more power than those from states like Connecticut. This is fundamentally unfair."

The bill adopts an interstate compact that's officially called "The Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote."

The agreement won't kick in unless it's backed by enough states and other voting areas to claim a majority of Electoral College votes.

In addition to Connecticut, the other jurisdictions in the pact are: California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington state, along with Washington, D.C.

cr the only scenario where this is good for republicans is if the dem loses the popular vote but would have otherwise won the electoral vote.

if this becomes a movement and one or more swing states decide to follow suit (MI, FL, OH, for example), it would be bad for republicans.

The agreement won't kick in unless it's backed by enough states and other voting areas to claim a majority of Electoral College votes.

So who knows. I don't know how it would affect the popular vote, since plenty of people don't bother voting in states that are highly unlikely to be competitive, but they would if the winner were chosen by popular vote.

That's true now though too but it doesn't really matter. If a Dem wins the national popular vote, they'll pick a slate of Dem electors.

yep. remember this idiocy in 2016?

OLYMPIA — One-third of Washington’s 12 Democratic presidential electors went rogue on Monday, breaking pledges to honor the state’s popular vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton.

In acts of symbolic protest, three voted instead for former Secretary of State Colin Powell, while one voted for Faith Spotted Eagle, a Native American elder and activist from South Dakota.

it means that if states with a combined 270+ electoral votes all adopt the same law, the laws in all those states will automatically come into effect and the electors will be required to vote for the winner of the national popular vote. this way the national popular vote is dispositive.

i'm not sure how that works in practice because we all vote for electors of a certain candidate. would we then vote for the candidate in NY and then the state would appoint electors after the fact to vote for the winner of the popular vote?

Lol, same with gun laws. Anything the dems suggest is "common sense".

>> "With the exception of the presidency, every elected office in the country, from city council, to United States senator, to governor, is awarded the candidate who receives the most votes," Malloy said in a statement. "The vote of every American citizen should count equally, yet under the current system, voters from sparsely populated states are awarded significantly more power than those from states like Connecticut. This is fundamentally unfair." <<

A voter in Wisconsin exercises much more pull in the US Senate than a voter in California. Is he saying that should change?

What is the smallest % of the country that could control the Senate?

Been thinking - there are a ton of Republicans in CA, Ny, and the northeast in general that probably don't even bother with voting. I'm guessing a lot more than the reverse (ie libs in red states). This could easily take away all of the advantages libs get with the electoral college by having locked down huge blue states.
