"It could lead, for the first time in American history, to serious doubt as to who is the rightful president."

The NewNeo writes about another important topic, electing the president by popular vote, instead of by the Electoral College.
New Mexico's legislature and Governor just passed such legislation and now petitioners in Ohio are trying to put it on the ballot.

...And Ohio? That could be a big big deal. Ohio is a pivotal swing state that often has a big role in determining the outcome of an election. It’s hard to gauge how much support this has in Ohio, but it may not need all that much support if activists are energized by it and not enough other people realize what’s going on and what it means...

I assume they will be able to collect those signatures. All they need is 442,958 Ohio voters who are on the left, and enough workers to reach them. Many many resources will be given to this effort, I’m assuming, because the left certainly realizes that success could change things, big time. Does the right understand what’s going on, and is it ready to fight this with enough resources to make a difference?

[ADDENDUM: I see that John Hinderaker has written on the same topic today. Good. He has a lot more traffic than I do, and I hope his post gets a lot of publicity and raises the alarm. His piece also contains a lengthy discussion of possible constitutionality issues connected with this movement.]
