Morons gain traction

Movements against the electoral college are gaining traction.

A movement to bypass the Electoral College and elect the president based on the popular vote is gaining steam, racking up almost one-fifth of the support needed to trigger the plan.

National Popular Vote, a California-based group formed in 2006, has won commitments from four states to award their electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote. Those four states — Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois and Hawaii — have 50 electoral votes among them.

The goal is for states with a total of 270 electoral votes to enter into a compact in which they agree to give their electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote.

If you ever needed a good reason for the electoral college, just look at the Minnesota senatorial race.

Multiply that mess by 50 and that is what you would have in a close presidential popular race.

When morons win.
