“Wait, states can overrule their voters AFTER an election is over? Is this even legal?”

States with a winner take all status already overrule their voters. Each Congressional District has one electoral vote. With a winner take all status all electoral votes go to the candidate who wins the statewide vote. Congressional Districts which voted for the other candidate are overruled.

We really need an amendment that requires that electoral votes be assigned by the vote in each Congressional District. The two votes per Senator could be assigned by the legislature of each state. go to popular vote.

Example: California's ballots would have been split between Clinton and Trump, not all assigned per statewide popular vote, where voter fraud in large urban areas swing states.

Dems in large urban areas could no longer wing states to the Dems by concentrating their efforts in these areas with the result of more people voting that eligible to vote, and false write in ballots.

I will strongly disagree with you.

Our founders wisely set up the seperate sovereign states as the fundamental building blocks of our Constitutional Republic. One man, one vote is just raw democracy and tends to oppress the minority. Winner take all on a state by state basis is how our founders envisioned the system. That we ate racing toward totalitarian socialist tyranny has nothing to do with winner take all states, and everything to do with the communist infiltration of our schools, news rooms, movie and TV studios, journalism colleges, churches, and every other sacred institution that worked for 200 years, and subsequent brainwashing rhree generations of Americans.
