OK, here’s the thing...the Amendment process hinges on the Electoral process.

If the Electoral College is eliminated, then all Constitutional Amendments will be determined by the popular vote.

Without the EC, the 2/3rds requirement of the amendment process will be forsaken. The 2nd will be rescinded by LA, NYC. Chicago and Houston.

It really is that simple and THAT is the process (plan) that the neoCommunists are running.

I’m not sure I follow your thinking. The Electoral College is only involved with Presidential elections. Eliminating it would require a Constitutional Amendment that would have to be passed by 2/3 of each house of Congress and ratified by 3/4 of the states. Eliminating the electoral college by amendment would not allow amendments to be passed by popular vote unless there was another amendment to that effect.
