Opponents of the Electoral College achieved an important victory last weekend when Connecticut’s legislature passed the so-called National Popular Vote compact. Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is expected to sign the measure.

Most Americans have never heard of the National Popular Vote compact, but it is shockingly close to causing a major political and legal firestorm. It is a clever scheme to change how we elect the president without the bother of having to pass a constitutional amendment.

States that approve this legislation enter a simple compact with one another. Each participating state agrees to allocate its electors to the winner of the national popular vote regardless of how its own citizens voted. The compact goes into effect when states holding 270 electoral votes (enough to win the presidency) have agreed to the plan.

With Connecticut’s vote, 11 states and the District of Columbia have now approved the measure, giving the compact a total of 172 electors. It needs only 98 more to reach the 270 mark.

Now we know you live under your bed.  Old news perpetuated by liberal idiots who plan to overthrow the gubment, military, Supreme Court, and intelligent citizens defending the Constitution of the United States of America.  Why do you think there are 15,000,000 ARs owned in the US?

This has been going on for a while and is not exactly news to those of us that are informed.  I suggest you look at the states that have approved this and let us know when was the last time any of these states delegates went to a GOP candidate.  My view is this could backfire bigly for them.  For all of these states the GOP Presidential vote is dampened due to people realizing their vote was meaningless.  This could motiviate many more GOP voters to go to the polls in blue states than ever before.  How ironic would it be if all of these states end up sending their delegates to the GOP candidate despite the fact that their state wanted to support a Democrat.  So the reality is that as of today this is meaningless.  And if they end up having to support a GOP candidate you can bet they will reverse this in a heartbeat.

It is racist because AR-15s are for the most part black.
