Last week, days before Joe Biden became president-elect, hundreds of people gathered in Seattle to express their outrage over the Electoral College, in part because of its connection to the systemic racism the Black Lives Matter movement has protested.
“The Electoral College was literally built on the idea that Black peoples are not human beings,” said activist, attorney and former mayoral candidate Nikkita Oliver. “We must face the white supremacist racist history of this country, and we must abolish every mechanism that keeps it in place, from the electoral, to police, to the criminal punishment system.”
Oliver joined the chorus of people calling for this constitutional change. As the vote counting in the presidential election dragged on for days, in part because of the surge in mail-in voting necessitated by the pandemic, social media was flooded with messages from people lashing out at the Electoral College.
Activists, politicians and academics in the Pacific Northwest and across the country are asking themselves what can be done to ensure the 2024 presidential race doesn’t turn into another unnecessary nail biter.
Next: What a Biden presidency could mean for WA politics “It's a cliffhanger in the Electoral College, but you won at least 4 million more votes,” said Alexander Keyssar, a professor of history and social policy at Harvard University, referring to Biden’s lead in the popular vote as of Monday.
“That gap and this whole screwball thing that we've been through for the last X number of days about this state and that state, this margin and that margin, I mean, is this really your way to run a railroad?”

Is this the way to run a railroad? I don’t understand the metaphor. Is it similar to Joe Biden playing the record player at night?
Perhaps they’re mad that they didn’t get any scholarships to the Electoral College?
Yes, if the railroad was a Constitutional Republic with an explicit Electoral College
Burn Seattle!
Asshats are doing that well enough themselves.
“ Last week, days before Joe Biden became president-elect,”
I stopped reading here.
I see they’ve received new instructions. Yes, new instructions from demonrats, RINOs, and world elites!
Riot and riot big time to try and force a fraudulent election!
The human refuse are not “ activists.”
They are terrorists and they are PAID.
This means demonrats. Etc are starting to panic!
LOL!
They are afraid of being exposed!
>Perhaps they’re mad that they didn’t get any scholarships to the Electoral College?
You have to graduate from Electoral High School first.
>It’s a cliffhanger in the Electoral College, but you won at least 4 million more votes
3 million votes switched by Dominion. Same problem.
“That gap and this whole screwball thing that we've been through for the last X number of days about this state and that state, this margin and that margin, I mean, is this really your way to run a railroad?”
Alexander Keyssar is an American historian and the Matthew W. Stirling Jr. Professor of History and Social Policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Now you know why William F. Buckley famously said,
"I would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the telephone directory than by the Harvard University faculty."
Personally, I am in favor of having them all tried as traitors and shot.
“The Electoral College was literally built on the idea that Black peoples are not human beings,”
Oh, the stupid! It burns!
The Electoral College was built so that large cities would not hold sway over rural states. What demographic seems to cluster in cities....hmmmm. Also, if 80% of the population was truly “racist”, the complaining 12% would be more like 2%.
Quelle surprise: the mob favors mob rule.
It will be easy to tell how close PDJT is coming to defeating Biden: simply watch the degree of violence of the “protests” (that is, riots).
Yes, Biden’s Brownshirts have his back.
Who gives a crap what these commie pukes want? Ignore them.
Few seem to understand the meaning of the word literal.
