Worst than anyone can imagine!-----Ohio Could Become the Next State to Hand Its Electoral Votes Over to California and New York | Trending

Ohio Could Become the Next State to Hand Its Electoral Votes Over to California and New York | Trending:
"Ohio could decide to hand its votes in presidential elections over to the Democratic Party if a proposed ballot measure passes in November.
If approved, the proposed constitutional amendment would award Ohio's electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote.
The language of the ballot measure would enshrine the following in the state's constitution.
See the source image"It is the expressed will of the People that every vote for President be valued equally and that the candidate who wins the most votes nationally becomes President. 
Therefore, the General Assembly shall within sixty days of the adoption of this amendment take all necessary legislative action so that the winner of the national popular vote is elected President."
In other words, Ohio would let states like California and New York essentially have veto power over the will of the state's voters in presidential elections — diluting the influence of rural and conservative voters in favor of the coastal elites in populous states that vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.
Supporters, of course, would never frame it that way, but that is in essence what would happen if the national popular vote were used to decide how Ohio's electoral votes are allocated.
It's a sneaky way to subvert the Electoral College without the messy work of amending the U.S. Constitution."
