California would have cast 55 electoral votes for George W. Bush. [View all]

Democrats are celebrating as one state after another passes laws to cast their electoral votes for president to "whoever wins the national popular vote." That makes sure that the state never again votes for the losing side in a presidential election.

In 2004 California voters chose John Kerry by a margin of 54.3% to 44.4% and this law would have had the College of Electors repudiate the voters of this state and cast our 55 electoral votes for George W. Bush. As repugnant as it is to have Trump in the White House, it is far more disgusting to think that my state would have cast the entirety of its electoral votes for the monster who precipitated a war of aggression in Iraq based on lies, a war that killed over one million people.

Translated, this ridiculous law means, "We'll go along with whatever everyone else decides," which is about as spineless and as foreign to every reason that I served in the military that I can think of. Whatever my state may or may not be, we didn't "go along with everyone else" and vote for George W. Bush, as your silly, childish over-reaction to the loss of one election would have us do.
