The Massachusetts State Senate voted that the Presidential Candidate who wins the national popular vote, will get the State’s 12 Electoral College, vs. the current system that the winner of each state gets the electors. The candidate, who has the most, becomes president, regardless what the national popular vote was.
By doing so, Massachusetts took away the relevance of any President Candidate to campaign for votes in MA. Candidates will be better off visiting the large states where they can reach more voters at once. Em, exactly (between others) why we have the Electoral College in the first place: to make sure that voters in the small states that joined the Union, don’t get ignored. Yes, that is why every state, regardless how few people live there, has two Senators – equal representation – in the US Senate. In the House however, representation depends on population, to make sure that the larger states get their compensation for joining the union.
But of course, the Leftist is MA don’t care about all this, because to them Americans are too stupid to “get” this Electoral thing. (Let’s not discuss now that Electors can technically vote for which candidate they want).
