The national popular vote is national popular insanity

The Electoral College has taken its place as the latest institution toward which the Left has turned its wrathful gaze.

Earlier this year Colorado’s Democratic legislature approved, and their Democratic governor signed, a “National Popular Vote” measure. Essentially, it commits Colorado (my home state) to an interstate pact, which comes into effect once enough states jump on board to total 270 electoral votes, consigning each state’s electoral franchise to whomever wins the popular vote nationally, regardless of whom the majority of the state’s citizens vote for, rendering the current system entirely irrelevant.
