Signing a bill pledging your state's electoral college votes to whoever
wins the national popular vote is basically telling your state's citizens
that their votes count even less than they do now.  The way it is now,
their votes decide who their state electorate votes for (barring any
unfaithful electors)... doing it the way the bill says to means that it does
not matter how the state's citizens vote because their state is always going
to the winner of the rest of the country.
