And while we're on the subject of Russ Feingold, did the Russians make him lose the election too?
Every deep blue state that’s going to pass this end-run has already done so. They’re spinning their tires; no red state is going to have its legislature pass this, nor are big purple states like Florida just going to voluntarily cede their power so that California may have more sway.
The Marxist left continuing its attempt to dismantle the Constitution piece by piece.
This is like the owner of a football team with no passing game lobbying to have games decided by most yards rushing.
Red China doesn’t have an electoral college...move there.
Should be: “Rusty Feingold Starts Group with Aim of Raising Lots of Money”... and paying himself a hefty salary.
Feingold has a history of this.
Feingold took an oath to “uphold, protect and defend the Constitution”.
He’s a prime example of what an oath really means to such a...creature.
Dumb move.
Banana Republic
“- Protecting the Right to Vote”
Stronger Voter ID laws?
“- Reforming our campaign finance system”
Unions get to plow as much money as they want into the election process. Corporations not a dime (how you gonna overturn Citizen’s United?)
“- Empowering the national popular vote by abolishing the Electoral College”
Mob rule, anybody?
“- Protecting the independence and credibility of the Supreme Court”
Other than make SCOTUS an elected position (which really doesn’t do this either) appointment is still the only option.
Well okie dokie Rusty...As soon as you can get 2/3rds of the states to go along with your hair brained idea, fine...but until then, shut your pie hole.
American’s, the one’s that would be subjected to the east coast and west coast group think would never be heard from ever again.
I’ll keep my Electoral College thank you very much — Now go be irrelevant somewhere else.
Is that group called the Democrat Party? They also want to abolish the entire constitution.
So we can be controlled by NY and California who allow illegals to vote.....NO THANKS!
It is exactly the electorial college as to why we are NOT a democracy. Constitutional republic is our form of governance, or republican nation.
Push that rope!
That would be a good way to put an end to what’s left of a constitutional republic. He should also add another item to his to-do list: change the name of the country to the People’s Republic of America.
To advocate abolishing the electoral college is to advocate abolishing congress. The logic of both is to ensure representative opinions from across this nation of states.
Within every district or state there are power centers, population centers, and capability factors that actually determine who can even become a viable candidate for those seats.
So, this libtard Feingold knows better than the Founding Fathers?
Yeah, let illegal aliens and left-wing moonbats in Los Angeles and New York determine the presidential election. Sure. Uh-huh.
Hitlery Rotten Criminal stole the popular vote because of voting fraud across the country, especially during the early voting, and millions of illegals voting, especially in The People’s Republic of California.
You want to change things? Allocate the electoral votes based on the winner of each congressional district, the way Maine and Nebraska already does.
(Image: 2016 precinct map for the Presidential election. Yes, it's all red except near the Democrat-controlled cities.)
And not once in the entire time did he stop to read the Constitution.
p.s. Russ, we do NOT live in a democracy. And thanks be to the living God that we do not.
In response, someone should start a group aimed at repealing the 17th amendment, so the US Senate would again be elected by the state legislators rather than by popular vote.
This would provide a similar balance to Congress.
