If that's what the Dem party NEEDS to have to turn our REPRESENTATIVE Democracy into a "majority rules" "fuck everyone else" one party system -- they will need to go thru the amendment process to the Constitution and PROPERLY DISPOSE OF the Electoral College...
What matters is that states cannot PRESCRIBE voting rules like that to their electors in the Electoral College.
The legality of faithless electors is really an aside. The EC currently works by each candidate submitting a list of electors (who can be expected to vote for said candidate). The election determines whose list becomes the electors for the state. This proposal in Maine is no different, except that Maine will use the nationwide popular vote results to determine whose list becomes the state's electors. For the record, I don't endorse this method at all. But it's horseshit to claim that it's voter suppression, and it's horseshit to claim it's unconstitutional.
Only worthless dipshits try to change the rules of the game because they lost.
Tell it to McConnell
No it does not contravene Roe V Wade. It's just another state with a limitation on abortion. All RVW did was say women had a right to access to abortion. It's up to each state to decide WHEN.

Why? McConnell is not trying to change the rules. My God, you are honed to the fine edge of a beach ball!
Constitutionally states can apportion their electoral votes in any way they see fit
No it isn't. States rights.Will end up in court. Definitely a Constitutional issue.

And liberal states clearly want to disregard their own voters.
May as well just say “all of our electoral votes will go the same way illegals in CA and NY vote”.
Wait, are you saying the fee will refuse to accept the electoral votes from a state if they don't like the way they are arrived at?No it isn't. States rights.Will end up in court. Definitely a Constitutional issue.
No.... The state has the right to present the electoral votes anyway they like. The feds are under no obligation to accept them in an improper form.
It will be overturned... And quickly too I imagine.

What a moron.
States Rights only exist in the context where they can define things not otherwise addresses in the constitution.
The Electoral College is specifically defined.
Sorry Dummy.No it isn't. States rights.Will end up in court. Definitely a Constitutional issue.
Sounds to me like a perverted form of voter suppression....no matter how the state votes its legislature gives its electoral votes to the person who at the end of voting wins the popular vote throughout the entire country....also sounds like a strong SCOTUS issue!
Maine's lawmakers passed a bill that would give the state's electoral votes to the presidential candidate who won the national popular vote, taking a step toward becoming the 15th state to enact such a law. The Maine Senate voted 19-16 Tuesday to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which would give all committed states' electoral votes to the winning popular vote candidate should the group accrue the 270 votes necessary for a majority.
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington state and the District of Columbia have all committed to the pact. The most recent addition, New Mexico, put the total at 189 electoral votes....I believe those listed states are all DeathRAT controlled states!

The Constitution gives state legislatures the right to choose how presidential electors are chosen.

The National Popular Vote, Explained
Thank you playtime
I can still see a valid argument, where using
the NATIONAL popular vote to determine a STATE'S electoral vote
can still be CHALLENGED as not representing THAT STATE'S population.
I could sooner see using the STATE'S popular vote (NOT national) to
throw all or proportional percentage of THAT STATE's electoral votes to that winner.
But trying to justify a STATE using NATIONAL VOTES FROM OTHER STATES,
that can be argued as violating the State's REPRESENTATION of its own population
to allow "people of other states" to dictate where THEIR state votes go!

I don't think that's true.
I AM thinking about you...assholeSo the states can vote for a cartoon?Constitutionally states can apportion their electoral votes in any way they see fit
Think retard
Yea...well like most things there are exceptions. Various Constitutional Amendments prevent what you are talking aboutConstitutionally states can apportion their electoral votes in any way they see fit
Not entirely accurate. Under your standard, it would be legal for a formerly Confederate state to ensure its EC votes would NEVER go to a black candidate, and I do believe it is a Very Bad Thing to nullify the voices of minority voters.
Or a state could ensure it would never vote for a Muslim, or a homosexual candidate.
So, if it is, as you say, constitutional, then laws prohibiting such things are UNconstitutional, and must be overturned.

Absolutely it's true. Do you really believe that had Ovama won the popular vote in a formerly Confederate state, but the state's EC votes went to Mitt Romney, the feds would accept them? No, they would not have.
