actually it will take several more passed bills by several states to make the national popular vote compact come into force.

The idea of awarding all the votes to one candidate is silly.
If I run in NY and get 49.9% of the votes, my opponent gets all the electoral votes. It should be split. That is constitutional.
I have no problem with allocating them fairly.

But until then, the rules going in are the rules we go by.

WATCH: Joy Behar Claims Democrats Lost Senate Races Due To Gerrymandering

In fairness to Mzzz. Not-so-Smart Alex, it should be known that she has plenty of company on the left. Listen to the totally clueless comment Joy Behar made about this past election of U.S. Senators and gerrymandering. Truly another grad-with-honors from Down Down U.

Hmm, in California 6.3 million of those votes were in Feinstein's turf, where she ran against...wait for it...another democrat. No republican on that ticket

Yeah, I know.. Maybe ET, FanDan, Horsey, Mostie or Hcap can spin that for us and get us to believe it was a fair election.

What part of 22 didn't you get to which Wisconsin contextually replied to Joy Behar's complaint about gerrymandering in the senate races?

Joy Behar is a goddamned idiot... what else do you want?

The fact someone even mentions gerrymandering Senate races is a #civicsfail of epic proportions...

The Senate isn't a very Democratic institution but that has nothing to do with "gerrymandering." It wasn't designed to be the House was...

The sad, pathetic truth is...there are numerous Joy Behars out there on the left.
She not educated enough to have voting rights.
