Democrat Rep. Jaime Raskin on Sunday called the Electoral College a ‘danger to the American people’ during an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan asked Raskin about the January 6 Committee and the Electoral Count Reform Act that just passed both chambers of Congress as part of the $1.7 trillion Omnibus bill.
“The act also raises the threshold for members of Congress to object to electoral votes and makes it harder for state legislatures or governors to ignore the popular vote when certifying Electoral College votes.” NBC reported.
Raskin slammed the US Constitution on Sunday.
“I think that the Electoral College now, which has given us five popular vote losers as president…twice in this century alone, has become a danger not just to democracy, but to the American people,” Raskin said. Raskin called the Electoral College a danger to the American people and said the Electoral Count Reform Act didn’t go far enough.
The Electoral Count Reform Act makes clear the Vice President’s role in counting the electoral votes is merely ceremonial.
Raskin, a Cosmopolitan elitist representing Maryland, said a US president should be elected by the popular vote.
This way New York and California would elect every president while Americans in flyover country are disenfranchised.
“We should elect the president the way we elect governors, senators, mayors, representatives, everybody else… whoever gets the most votes wins,” Raskin said.

P
Raskin has no loyalty to America. I don't consider him American. He is a citizen of the Deep State, ruled by Soros and Schwab.
Talk about insurrection!
The Constitution is a threat to Libtardism again
What is funny is that the electoral college always worked fine until little Jaime popped out of Mommy Ratskin. Jaime is the biggest threat I see to all things American. He’s a bigger ahol than the Jaime on “Yellowstone” and a greater threat to the American people and their Republic. His ass should be in jail.
the electoral college is the next target in the left’s ‘fundamental change of America”
What is he even talking about with this “two in this century, alone” winning the popular vote, but losing the electoral college?
Never mind...I forgot that Hillary didn’t cheat enough in the right States. They certainly fixed that in 2020. Without a Constitutional amendment, I might add.
So how is 4 cities electing. President the perfect answer
First there were the states. Then there was the union of those states.
This POS should rot in jail until the end of World War VII.
Y’all are going about this all wrong. Idaho, Wyoming, and North Dakota just have to “find” a couple million popular votes and certify them each election. Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Florida can “find” a couple million more, and certify those. Ohio, Iowa, and Missouri... “find” a couple of million votes and certify them. If the limitations and boundaries of electoral votes don’t matter, and we have to take the word of the states on the actual vote counts, then it’s just a matter of finding enough votes to certify to have a candidate win. The problem will work itself out when everyone is compelled to play from the same set of rules.
I think elimination of the Electoral College is one of the goals the American Marxist have for America. I’m going to look it up . . .
I found that Marxists like Bernie Sanders want to eliminate the Electoral College.
Considering the electoral college is not a democratic form, it’s a representive republican form, he’s right its a threat to democracy
Our Founding Fathers, Madison in particular, feared democracy because they knew that, sooner or later, it becomes infested with politicians like Raskin.
Another descendant of the wave of WWI era Russian and Eastern European Jews fleeing persecution that we allowed into America, and who immediately started working to dismantle the nation that welcomed them. Just another Nuland, Vindman, Krystol. etc.
it’s disgusting.
I ask my fellow Marylanders how did this weasel get elected even in wealthy liberal Montgomery County? He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
