Ok, not quite, but Connecticut has a bill that will put their electoral votes for for whoever wins the popular vote.

Connecticut signs on with California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington state, along with Washington, D.C to do the same. This brings the total to 172 electoral votes, just 100 votes away from effectively ending the Electoral College.
My opinion is this is wrong. This abdicates voting responsabilities to around 20 metropolitan areas in the United States, or around 18 states. This means that people in 32 states would have no say in the President.
