When I saw that this was a Hoffington Post story, I didn’t bother to read it past the first sentence.
So much bull squeeze.
The contention that no Constitutional Amendment is necessary is laughable.
Technically, if the electoral college mirrored the popular vote, then since neither one got over 50%, both would fall short of 270 and the next president would be chosen by the house.
Only ONCE did a candidate who won a majority (not just a plurality) of the popular vote (putting aside the fact that it’s a fictional and irrelevant construct)lose in the electoral college, which was Tilden, who got 50.9% in 1876, but lost to Hayes in the EC.
I wanna go through all major city votes like what happened in Detroit.
