Connecticut is poised to commit its electoral votes to whichever U.S. presidential candidate wins the nation's popular vote — regardless of who wins the state.
By embracing the plan, Connecticut's General Assembly gave new momentum to a push to change the way Americans elect their president.
Ten states and the District of Columbia are already in a compact to pool their electoral votes and pledge them to the popular-vote winner. With Connecticut added, the compact's voting power would rise to 172 — fewer than 100 electoral votes away from the 270-vote majority that decides the presidential contest......
In addition to Connecticut, the other jurisdictions in the pact are California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington state, along with Washington, D.C.
They are doing this as part of the ongoing melt down over Hillary losing but cutting off their own nose in the process. All those states are going democrat, every time, regardless, so the only way their electoral votes goes to someone who does not actually win the state is if a republican wins the popular vote. But of course the goal is to sucker the red states into surrendering their franchise. Not going to happen.
And these snowflakes have to really hate the way our senate works.
