Offer for an option in the spirit of bipartisan compromise... short, but not necessarily sweet.
If the Democrat nominee (as in 2016), wins the popular votes but loses the Electoral College, we count the popular vote (Democrat elected POTUS). But… if the Democrat loses the popular vote, but wins the Electoral College, we count the Electoral vote (Democrat elected POTUS).
However... if by chance, the Democrat candidate loses both the popular vote and the Electoral vote… we melt down and scream “Democracy has failed” and demand endless investigations of the GOP winner... throughout their term(s). Justa humble suggestion.
The GOOD Southron folk of MS know exactly what lieawatha was talking about. They are arming to the teeth to take out the morons who clapped for this idiot thyroid case female.
That’s pretty good, and I like that, but the Constitution is at it is.
Anyone wants to change it, they know what they gotta do.
Otherwise I will abide by nothing. Contract over.
If we do away with the electoral college an argument can be made for dissolving state borders as well national ones. Every state can emulate California whether they like it or not.
Yeas, DemocRATS will do anything to get rid of America; the good old U.S.A.
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.The 14th Amendment explicitly demands that the people of a state get to vote, and that THEIR vote counts.
there’s a process for that.
trouble is, it honors States. Too bad we did not create a North American Union for libs.
end the welfare state and watch.
I have argued this point endlessly here at FR. By all means, make the election about Congressional Districts instead of “winner-take-all” by states. It immediately enfranchises the Upstate NY Republicans and the Houston/Austin Democrats in Texas.
Nebraska and Maine already do this. No Constitutional Amendment required. It could be accomplished at the state level by legislation. The Dems in CA and NY would not be motivated to make the change, though.
I hope that is the case for all mid-America.
“I think the winner of the Super Bowl should be based”...on cheerleaders.
Roe v. Wade inexorably led to infanticide.
The 17th Amendment leads inexorably to abolishing the Electoral College.
Progressive is the name for the American brand of communism. The Frankfurt School never ceases its Long March.
LOL!
I can’t wait to see what happens in these states when the voters learn their votes no longer count.
Several someones need to educate the millenial morons— and show them that this DIS enfranchises their votes to a communistic “vote” not unlike hitlery’s treatment of Bernie Sander’s delegates in the DNC— the “super delegate” has more vote power... just because we say so. Millenials can make the connection— that removing Electoral College allows E and W coast Leftist minorities— those FACTIONs to control the outcome. Precisely why the Founders created the Electors system— to prevent European style monarchist like factions, vs. less populated regions.
