Those Crazy Californians Have Abolished the Electoral College!

Posted on Fri, 09/22/2006 - 12:54am by Kyle A Krahel

Read the New York Times article about it!

If my favorite guy in the world, Arnold Schwarzenegger, decides to sign the bill it would make California's 55 electoral votes (a little over 10%) go to the winner of the NATIONAL popular vote, not the California popular vote. If enough states pass similar bills to equal a majority of electoral votes, it would effectively abolish the electoral college and elect the president by popular vote.

We Californians may be crazy, but we are always the first to be crazy; like when we passed those "crazy" emissions standards for cars back in the 60s which are now essentially the national standard. The next biggest things: abolishing the electoral college and approving the Kyoto Protocol.

By the way, RECALL SCHWARZENEGGER, VOTE ANGELIDES!!!
