Yep, I am right to keep them on ignore.  Answer me this left wing nuts.  If a majority of the voters in one of these states voted for candidate A and Candidate B won the popular vote nationwide does it seem right to you that the voters in the state no longer count and the candidate they preferred doesn't get their electoral college votes?  And this cuts both ways.  I can assure you the howls will be many if Trump wins the popular vote in 2020 and captures the Colorado electoral college votes.  What will be interesting is how it impacts campaigns and voting trends, if at all. 

On tha national popular vote front, there is a process to do that.  Amend the Constitution.  We are not a democracy, we are a representative Republic and there is a reason for the electoral college.  Every state has a say in who is President, not just the high population areas on the coasts.  You can reasonably argue that this isn't the best way to go about this and if there is enough support just amend the Constitution.  But as you know, I am a Federalist and if a state wants to disenfranchise their voters then have at it. Believe me, for most of them that is their standard operating procedure.
