Maine is the latest state to pass the National Popular Vote Legislation law.

After much public debate, a Maine law has brought the country closer to having the popular vote determine the winner of national presidential elections -- but it's unlikely that will happen before November or even at all.

Earlier this week, Maine Gov. Janet Mills allowed a bill to become law without her signature that would take effect once the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is able to gather pledges for at least 270 electoral votes -- the number of delegate votes needed to elect a president.

The movement has now gathered pledges from 17 states and Washington, D.C. -- accounting for a total of 209 electoral votes.

Hope you like NY, CA, and IL dictating how your life is going to be middle America.

The fact that so many states have bought into the idea even though it will backfire on them amazes me.
