Maine Senate passes bill giving state's electoral votes to national popular vote winner

[B. Kidd]

Conservative states are free to try their own compacts or to try rebelling in a Confederacy again

Liberal states are the new Confederacy!!!

Civil War 2.0, lets get it on Muppets!

Only a DemTard DemNazi would waste time with a Unconstitutional Bill like that. That will be immediately overturned

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!

Based on what?

Clause 2: Method of choosing electors[edit]
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

Clause 3: Electors[edit]
The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse [sic] by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse [sic] the President. But in chusing [sic] the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse [sic] from them by Ballot the Vice President.
(Note: This procedure was changed by the 12th Amendment in 1804.)


Show us that all states have to distribute their votes a set way.

It didn't work well for you last time. Reconstruction was the greatest mistake this nation ever made.

[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.QUOTE="Crepitus, post: 22387553, member: 69759"]

Will end up in court. Definitely a Constitutional issue.

No it isn't. States rights.

[/QUOTE]
Have you even read Article II? The Electoral College is determined by the number of Congresspeople (House + Senate)...and they vote....but show us where the Constitution tells the states HOW they have to distribute their votes.......link that for us.

 

[bodecea]

Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 requires congressional consent before the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact can be enforced. Less than that would go to the Court.

Keep in mind that should a state's voters choose one candidate, and the state gives the votes to the opponent, the lives of those state officials would likely be worth less than spit.

My goodness....and now you resort to threatening lives.

No need. Barr will put you people out of business by early October 2020.

It's just business.

How will he do that?

Deconstruction is the greatest mistake the current Democrats are making.
Should work out fine this time around.

Show me where in the Constitution it prevents a state from deciding how it's Electoral Votes go. Hint: it's not in there. It's totally up to each state to make their own rules/laws on how the set number of Electoral Votes are distributed.

Well I guess Trump will just have to win the popular vote as each week his approval rating goes up and all you fools have are clowns!

Did they read "How to civil war, the guide"?

In no way is this legal.

 

[justoffal]

Constitutionally states can apportion their electoral votes in any way they see fit

Sounds to me like a perverted form of voter suppression

Only an idiot would claim that the law endorsing the person who gets the most votes is voter suppression.

also sounds like a strong SCOTUS issue!

Because you don't like it? The constitution is perfectly clear. Each state chooses the method for appointing electors. Period. Get over it, snowflake.

It's a Federal System not a state system ... And yes it is for the purpose of suppression....of mob rule.
It will be overruled. Funny part is the states doing it don't really affect the outcome anyway. They already did give all of their electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote. Won't change anything.

Rasmussen has him at 45 which means he's in the mid-30's
