The left wants mob rule...
They want the cities to rule and ignore the parts that feeds them and provides energy.
The liberals want this because they are still angry about the 2000 election.
Does everyone else remember, on election night 2000, Bush was slightly ahead in the unofficial national popular vote.
But then, the next day, Gore had pulled ahead slightly. Perhaps due to voting the graveyards and other shenanigans in various places around the country???
It is quite possible that the liberals could manipulate the popular vote totals in various places, to try to push their candidate over the top in this national popular vote total.
Imagine Florida style recounts in the whole country, rather than restricted to a particular close state.
Remember in 2000 in Florida, Bush was ahead in the popular vote in Florida by about 1,900 votes on election night. After three weeks of recounting, taking into account the hanging chads and dimpled chads and all that, the final official margin ended up being 537 votes.
How was it that Bush had a 1,900 vote margin in the original tally, but Gore picked up 1,400 extra votes in the Florida recount?????
I guess I figure, in an election with a clear margin of victory, the electoral vote and popular vote winner would be the same anyway. And in a close election, the liberals will try to steal it, whether within individual states, or in a nationwide popular vote tally.
This time.
And when their little scheme doesn’t work out for them, they’ll want to switch the process back.
