@Bjorn - MD Ya the Geely firm owns volvo. I’m excited to see what they come up with using Googles software for it, since google has been working on driverless cars for ages but never rushed them to market
*come up with as far as actually taking some of Tesla’s market
@Drover Tom Yeah, but they aren't actually driverless. It's just that now, *you're* not driving your car; *these* guys are...
Next year is the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower voyage landing in America
OOO I didn't know that
@DixieBoy76 - KY Yep 💪
Hopefully this gets struck down by the courts.
Good morning fellow non tinfoil non-autistic handcraft artists
Makin' some assumptions there, buddy... 😏
@Hakujin - CA "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors," It's constitutional.
May appoint a number of electors.
It DOES NOT grant the state permission to dictate how they vote
It grants the state permission to appoint the electors as they see fit.
Almost all states allow the winner of the popular vote to select the delegates so I'm not sure how this is different in practice
Popular vote of their state.
The people in their state how they voted
This law, however, tells them they must vote according to how the national vote tallies. In essence, disregarding how the people they represent vote
So now the voting public in California and New York will be determining how Colorado’s electoral votes will be cast, instead of the voting public of Colorado
This should be an easy one to strike down.
I'm afraid it sounds constitutional. They could totally ignore the vote if they wanted
@DixieBoy76 - KY Wow,didn't know that,that is awesome to hear! 400yrs!
@Perihelion - CA it’s not Constitutional for a state to dictate how their residents vote.
Maybe I'm missing something here but it's been at upheld by the Supreme Court that the state legislature can select the Electoral College without consulting the people
Yes, that is selecting the electors
Which is constitutional
Right and the electors will vote 99% of the time as instructed
Telling them HOW to vote, disregarding the electorate for who they represent, is not Constitutional
That is voting according to their OWN states’ electorate
The electoral college doesnt represent the electorate
It just is whatver the legislature decides
Which for almost all states is selected by state popular vote
Yes they do. They vote according to their states electorate
No they are not compelled to follow any popular vote
See gore vs bush
Yes. Popular vote in Texas determines who the electoral members of Texas vote
Thats how texas legislature decided it
Its not a constitutional matter
Popular vote in Florida determines who the electoral members of Florida vote
Nope
Gore vs Bush
