Time to change the electoral college
Mar 18, 2019 07:21:09 #
The Democrats want to eliminate the electoral college because they win the popular vote in major population centers, but lose the electoral college vote because their majorities are too concentrated geographically. The Democrats want to form a compact of states to throw their electoral votes to whomever wins the national popular vote no matter how the residents of the state voted. I believe the method most in line with the founding fathers intent would be the system used by Nebraska and Maine. The winner of the statewide popular vote would receive 2 electoral votes with the remaining electoral votes divided by the winner of each congressional district. The site 270towin.com breaks this down for the last two Presidential elections. The site also states that this option is the most stable for the Electoral College. We need to urge our representatives to back this proposal as it will most truly represent the will of the people.

Currently changing the electoral college at all will just reduce the impact of citizens on the selection of the President. Until we stop the voter fraud, any change is just throwing the vote even more to cheaters.

I agree that the issue of voter fraud needs to be addressed, but my suggestion on changing the electoral college would help because, by anecdotal evidence, the majority of voter fraud seems to be in major population centers.

Democrats don't care about the will of the people unless those people are other Democrats.

If my preferred option had been in use in 2012, we would have been spared a second term of President Obama. That may have eliminated Hillary's email scandal and Bengazi. Then again, things may have turned out worse under a President Romney.

Stick to whatever it is you do for a living and enjoy your life.
Because politics is not your forte'.
The only reason democrats lost is because the Clinton Pig is unfit for office.
As is many democrats who currently serve in Congress along with the 12 Republicans who voted against the National Emergency.
No ......Goober.
We don't need to eliminate the electoral college.
Democrats just need to find themselves a reputable leader.
Because right now, they've got absolutely nothing.

Don't panic. Please check out the site 270to win.com and you will see what I am supporting actually strengthens the Electoral College. If Democrats get their way to change the electoral votes to go to the national popular vote winner or do away with the Electoral College altogether, then our nation is in danger of falling to communism.

It's not tinkering with the Constitution. Although the Electoral College is established in the Constitution, the way the votes are allocated is left up to the states. Maybe an amendment to allocate the electoral votes, but that may step on the states rights, namely the 9th and tenth amendments.

Given Romney's performance lately, Obama may have been the better choice. At least he didn't try and pretend to be a Republican. Romney, along with Lyin'Ryan, would have possibly been worse than Obama.

Please stop calling Hillary a pig. Pigs are sensitive animals whose feelings are easily bruised.
Unlike Hillary the Harpy, they also have standards.
