Hopefully the election riggers will be choking on their own words.

They aren't bright enough to know what that means.

It would be great if Trump wins the popular vote and all these Libtard states ,including NY have to cast the electoral votes for Trump! Make sure you get out in November and do your duty! Talk about a landslide.

 

[Toecutter]

Trump will win the popular vote . We may see one one the largest landslides in US history.

 

[Phauxtoe]

the democrats Have ZERO concept of Unintended consequences.
trump will win the popular Vote and it will be a Blow out, the they will cry it unfair and want to change thing retroactively.

Well, questions:

1) Does this mean anything? Can a state actually vote republican by the bulk of its people but because the popular went to the dems that state commits its electoral to the democratic candidate? Is this legally binding? My guess is no...

2) How can virginians actually accept this? Isn't this so: If 70% of the state votes for Candiate A, and 30% for Candidate B, but Candidate B just edges out A in the popular vote, the state will throw its electoral at Candidate B, which means that despite the state's citizenry voting for Candidate A by more than 2:1 over B, it still commits to B? All this does is take the "unfaireness" of the electoral system and flip it to the other side of the coin.

Blimey, this is what Virginia wants to join.

That's my take... the only remaining question is Hillary entering the race as a VP (if so, bets on the lifespan of her running mate are on!) or edging out one of the primary contenders by attempting to appear as the moderate among the herd? Bitch is still mad she didn't "get her turn" last round.

That'd be AWESOME.

Just imagine...Trump wins the national popular vote but loses Virginia. They'd have to see that had the compact been in effect, Trump would get their electoral votes.

Question? Just how many R's in blue States don't vote because they think their vote won't count because of the D's have a majority ??

As Dan Bongino pointed out the other evening, EVERY Trump supporter needs to vote regardless of how deep a blue state they live in. We need to see that as much of the popular vote goes to Trump as possible.

Now that’s an interesting thought. I’ve been saying my vote doesn’t count here for years. I vote because there are other races on the ballot.

They should be careful what they wish for!

It's blatantly unconstitutional...they know it...they don't give a shit...tic-fucking-toc motherfuckers.

Which I have to ask the question? Where are the feds if this is to be?

Yep, this exactly is what I said a few months ago. Each day closer to election day, the better odds he has of a huge victory

 

[dsdmmat]

All the states that have joined that pact are liberal. They are trying to do an end run around the constitution. A better way to make the state relevant to campaigns is to split the state’s electoral college votes each state has by the percentage of votes the candidates get in the state. I think the Virginia voters need to challenge this in the court system if it gets signed into law.

From recent SCROTUM activity, particularly on law suits on Trump's executive powers (immigraton for instance), there appears to be a "fast track" to SCROTUM review.

Wouldn't be surprised to see DOJ go after this before the election, unless Barr is another deep state shitweasel...which I believe he is.

 

[Jezman]

So Virginia already admits it will be a Trump reelection?
