Actually there are a few states that do assign their electoral votes this way. It's their "state" their choice.
There are a lot of republicans in california (and democrats in texas) who's votes don't count a lot. If california wants to do this (and of course the political party will help them) more power to 'em.
Same with texas.
What IS funny imo, is when someone attempts to keep a referendum off a ballot, that's a little bit beyond the pale imo.
