Delaware Senate Approves Compact Giving State's Electoral College Votes to Winner of Nation's Popular Vote

DOVER, Del.- When Delawareans head to the polls to cast ballots in future elections, their votes might not decide which presidential candidate gets the state's three votes in the electoral college.
That scenario would play out under an interstate compact the state Senate voted to join on Thursday in a 14-7 decision. Senate Bill 22 would enter Delaware into an agreement with other states to tie their votes in the electoral college to the winner of the nationwide popular vote, regardless of how individual states voted.
The compact does not go into enough until enough states sign the position and pool together an aggregate of at least 270 votes in the electoral college --- a majority needed to elect a president. Legislatures in eleven Democratic-leaning states and the District of Columbia have signed onto the agreement, representing 181 votes.

 The Electoral College is embodied in the Constitution in Article 2, Section 1, and in the 12th Amendment. ... The function and details of how the Electoral College meets and how they vote was changed in the 12th Amendment.

So did Delaware pass a Constitutional resolution?? if not this bill passage is illegal and should be called upon in the Supreme Court.

 It is totally unconstitutional. There is such thing as a Convention of States, wherein the states can get together to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution independent of congress. Unfortunately for those who want to do away with the electoral college (I don't count myself among them), it requires at least two thirds - or 34 of the 50 states - to pass identical resolutions calling for the convention. For any constitutional amendment to be ratified (i.e. put into effect) whether it be an amendment proposed through congress OR the states independently, 3/4ths of the states need to ratify it through both bodies of their state legislatures.

What you have with these left-wing states is nothing of the sort. They think that a handful of large states representing a simple majority of electoral votes can overturn the electoral process through interstate agreements. I would say this effort will go down in flames if it ever came to pass, however with the plethora of rogue federal justices that we seem to have in this country at present, it seems anything is possible.

Somehow the other two branches of federal government in this country have developed the notion that the OPINIONS of the third - the judicial branch - are supreme. This is extremely dangerous considering those in the positions hold lifetime appointments.

 Unless I'm mistaken, we don't vote for the individual candidate BUT for a slate of Electors who are pledged to vote for that candidate. How does the state then declare the Electors with the least votes to be the winners?

Haven't the voters of Delaware just been disenfranchised in mass?
