Virginia House Passes Bill To Award Electoral Votes To Popular Vote Winner.

The Virginia House of Delegates passed a bill on Tuesday that will award the state’s electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote in an election.

This has been an argument for years. Why should the candidate with the least amount of votes be allowed to win an election?

According to The Hill, the measure, also known as House Bill 177, passed the legislative chamber in a 51-46 vote on Tuesday after clearing the body’s Privileges and Elections Committee in a vote last week.

So far, only 15 states and Washington, D.C., have entered the compact, according to National Popular Vote, a nonprofit group tracking the status of states on the issue.

If this compact was in effect in 2016, Hillary Clinton would have won the election as she possessed 3 million more votes in general over Donald Trump.

"Hillary Clinton would have won the election as she possessed 3 million more votes in general over Donald Trump."

And here is the reason for the hate and divisiveness from the left that will be with us for a very long time.
The EC is there for a reason.

Let the majority rule.

Temple has shown himself to be semi illiterate ..I also don't believe he's educated enough to comprehend or understand things like the function and purpose of the electoral college ..He simply parrots what he hears from the democrats and their media and he'll repeat it over and over as if it makes it come true ...
