We can battle the demographics by changing the way their votes are counted. Having more voters than residents in a district should set off warning bells far and wide - for some reason this is now “the new normal”.
I do NOT agree with scrapping the electoral college. I do think that we need to change the way elector votes are ‘won’.
It is up to each state to determine how their votes are given out. If we can change states from winner take all to winner by the district the elector represents that would help. The two votes given for Senate seats should go to the winner of the popular vote.
This would help to re-establish the voice of the people as intended by the founding fathers and also make more states relevant - also an intention of the electoral college.
I may be wrong in my understanding of the system (it’s been 40+ years since any civics and history classes) but I cannot believe that the founding fathers wanted states to be left out of the process, nor did they want the mob rule of the popular vote.
And how do we change the way the votes are counted when the people who control how the votes are counted like the way the votes are counted?
We had a chance to fix it. No more.
