SECONDED! But can we split Cali into 4 states, and merge 4 on the other side?

It looks like a loopy over-reaction to the 2000 presidential election. However, the choosing of electors (the members of the electoral college) is left up to the states. (See Article II, Section 1.) Traditionally, the electors have been determined by statewide elections, but the Constitution does not forbid other methods, like appointment by the governor or sale to the highest bidder. If this is what Cali really wants to do, then I think they'll get away with it. It just seems awful stupid to leave the choosing of your state's electors to the voters of other states.

I don't see anything unconstitutional about it. The states can choose electors any way they want to.
I think it's a win for the Republicans, actually... - 8/23/06, 11:01 AM

G__ D___ It! @#%@&$!
I live in California...I'm surrounded with these nutcakes, and hear crap like this daily!
A couple of years ago, the libs in S.F. got together and decided to "vote" ATM fees out! As if they had a say in the matter!
There have been Board of Supervisor votes in cities all over N. California to endorse impeachment! (as if they have a say in the matter)
There is encouragement, however: Even generally liberal cities are starting to adopt ordinances that fine landlords who rent to illegals, and businesses that employ them!
A beam of light in an otherwise very dark tunnel.

The states have no mechanism to punish faithless electors.
Every member of the electoral college who has ignored his mandate ( either state laws or a signed pledge ) and voted as he pleased has, so far, gotten away with it.
The only EC vote a libertarian had ever gotten was one cast by a republican elector who could not make himself vote for Spiro T. Agnew for VP.
That vote still stands ... heh. - 8/23/06, 12:18 PM

"It should be split into two states and two tiny Eastern states should be merged to keep a nice even 50."
Split CA into two states and convert Massachusetts into a source for human experimental subjects.
And I say that as a taxpaying resident of Massachusetts (state bird: Black-Capped Chickadee; scam: Big Dig). - 8/23/06, 8:41 PM
