If Romney wins the popular vote, he will get all of CA’s electoral votes (as they now go to the national popular vote winner per a bill recently signed into law by Gov. Brown) He will also get the electoral votes of about 8 other states whether the majority in those states voted for him or not. While I want Romney to win, I’m not sure if this fiddling with the electoral college process is a good one.

Haha! Keep dreaming. Obama is going to lose 40 States and nationally by 7 points. Night-night.

This sounds like Ron Paul’s strategy.

Ignore the irrelevant beauty contest of primaries, but gain the presidency through delegate control.

Love it.

Bye, Obama.

Bye, Romney.

Hellow, Liberty!

Is this the newest spin by the lame street media? The good news is you are now acknowledging Obama is in trouble. This election will be a blowout period!

The National Popular Vote bill would change existing state winner-take-all laws that award all of a state’s electoral votes to the candidate who get the most popular votes in each separate state (not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but since enacted by 48 states), to a system guaranteeing the majority of Electoral College votes for, and the Presidency to, the candidate getting the most popular votes in the entire United States.

The National Popular Vote bill ensures that every vote is equal, every voter will matter, in every state, in every presidential election, and the candidate with the most votes wins, as in virtually every other election in the country.

Every vote would be included in the state counts and national count. The candidate with the most popular votes in all 50 states and DC would get the 270+ electoral votes from the enacting states. That majority of electoral votes guarantees the candidate with the most popular votes in all 50 states and DC wins the presidency.

The bill has passed 31 state legislative chambers in 21 states. The bill has been enacted by 9 jurisdictions possessing 132 electoral votes – 49% of the 270 necessary to go into effect.

How Obama Could Lose the Popular Vote and Win the Election.

That’s what GW did in 2000, remember? Of course, he had the conservative Supreme Court on his side, and his brother was the governor of the state (Florida) that had so much “go wrong” in the 2000 election: hanging chads, dangling chads, etc etc etc.

I doubt the President will lose either the popular vote or the electoral vote. People are sick of Republican obstructionism and trying to force everyone to live the same way they doe…is this the land of the free or is it not.
