Maine votes out electoral college

If you are a party that routinely cannot convince the majority/plurality of American voters that your ideas are superior, then there is no way you should nevertheless be rewarded with a stranglehold on the federal government.

I wouldn't feel good about the Democratic Party routinely losing the national vote, but still being given control of the federal government.

There are grown adults, GenXers, today who only have a memory of Republicans winning the national vote one single time in their lives.

You are so stupid, you mean enough people in two states, therefore screwing the rest of us, by putting us under the rule of welfare takers.

One American, One Vote.
A Californian’s vote should count as equally as a Nebraskan’s vote.

Anyone can play that geography game. 70,000 people in only three medium-sized states decided for the rest of us that a dunce who got blown out in the popular vote should be allowed to be president.

A lot of small, rural red states have more cows and corn fields than people.
Cows and corn fields do not vote, and they are not entitled to representation.

The small, rural, conservative states are already given vastly disproportionate power and advantage by over-representation in the U.S. Senate and by district gerrymandering in the House.

There is no plausible need that tiny, rural states need to also be given a disproportionate advantage in presidential elections. They are given more than enough disproportionate power and representation as it is.

The founding fathers were smart enough back then to see that only leads to mob rule. It never ceases to amaze me how the intellect of Democrat Americans has diminished instead of increasing.

What exactly is mob rule?

Be specific.

Maine can certainly disenfranchise its voters. Granted this only passed the Maine Senate at this point, but if it becomes state law, then Maine doesn't need to vote for President any more. They want the rest of the country to decide for them.

Same with California and their tax returns law.

Absolutely they can. They can moot the electoral college by requiring all their electoral vote be counted proportionally instead of winner takes all.
