Well, we mentioned it
earlier, and now they’ve gone and done
it.
SACRAMENTO —
Lawmakers sent Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger a bill Wednesday that would make
California the first state to jump aboard a national movement to elect the
president by popular vote.
Under the legislation, California
would grant its electoral votes to the nominee who gets the most votes
nationwide — not the most votes in California. Get enough other states to
do the same, backers of the bill say, and soon presidential candidates will
have to campaign across the nation, not just in a few key “battleground”
states such as Ohio and Michigan that can sway the Electoral College vote.
I’m sure the country will be a much better place with the voters
in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Philadelphia deciding the
Presidency. Constitution, what constitution?
