Really fabulous write-up in Slate this morning about how the GOP proposition to change how our electors are determined (i.e. the plan to steal 20-22 electoral votes) is unconstitutional:
"In Article II, Section 1, the Constitution declares that electors shall be appointed by states "in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct." That's legislature. California's could scrap its current winner-take-all approach and adopt a district-by-district system for allocating electors (as only Maine and Nebraska currently do). But the voters-whom the initiative supporters have turned to because they don't have the support of the Democratic-controlled legislature-cannot do this on their own."
The more people know this the more likely it is to die a final death. "You can vote for it but all you'll be doing is costing the state a lot in legal fees while it gets challenged all the way up to the supreme court!" is a pretty good argument against voting for it.
