Maine will become the latest to join a multistate effort to elect the president by popular vote with the Democratic governor's announcement Monday that she's letting the proposal become law without her signature.

Under the proposed compact, each state would allocate all its electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote for president, regardless of how individual states voted in an election.

---

It just baffles me that liberals in Maine (and other states) would want to potentially force their electoral votes to go for a Republican just because they won the popular vote.

My first instinct is that they would experience severe buyers' remorse the first time that happened, but maybe this is just a sign that their election fraud is only going to increase to the point that they'll ensure that only democrat nominees get to 50.0001% of the national vote by any means necessary. That seems like the only reason to want this compact.

I am but a failure in all things, especially posting.

If a Republican does not win the Whitehouse in November, odds are good it will never happen again.

Because half of this country are abject morons.

Liberalism is a religion. People do unexplainable stupid stuff due to their religious convictions.

If there's ever an election where the Republican wins the popular vote but the Democrat wins the Electoral vote, this movement will suddenly die.

We're in one of our American periods of political realignment right now and there's just no way to say something like this with any degree of accuracy.

For instance, if the Hispanic vote continues to shift at the statistical rate it has over the last 8 years more Hispanics will vote Republican than Democrat in the 2032 election cycle. And since this shift is largely on the basis of a majority Christian population voting on social issues, I don't see much reason to think that shift won't continue unless the democrats pull the emergency break.

Or, what if educated white women suddenly shift 10-20% on the basis of all the madness surrounding their kids in schools? That shift is ALREADY projected to play out in many states this election cycle.

I guarantee that if a repub won the popular vote but a dem won maine they would ignore this pact and cast their electoral votes for the dem. and any legal challenge would result in "no standing"

I remember when the Democratic party was dead after 04. I think it even made the front Time, if I remember correctly.

Getting really tired of these claims. If the GOP had nominated a younger, less divisive candidate they win going away, not even close.

they all know its no where close to passing the EV threshhold to actually take effect, so its really all just polictal games.

No different than all the times a Republican house passed whatever controversial bill knowing full well that the D controlled Senate would never pass it

According to Wikipedia, it's been enacted in states with 209 EV, and pending in states with 87 EV:

• Alaska (3)
• Arizona (11)
• Kansas (6)
• Kentucky (8)
• Michigan (15)
• Nevada (6)
• North Carolina (16)
• South Carolina (9)
• Virginia (13)

I think that AK, KS, KY, and SC are too reliably red to vote for a bill that's so strongly perceived as advantaging Democrats. But the other 5 (AZ, MI, NV, NC, VA) are swing states, and all but NC voted for Biden in 2020. They have 61 EVs between them, and so if all of them join the compact, it will have just enough votes to take effect.

As long as each state gets the same number of electors then no problem

Otherwise Libs, amend the Constitution or shut up.
