Exactly. It will never happen..the two methods of amendign the Constitution, require either 2/3 or 3/4 majorities..and if you look at the number of "small" states, and the large states controled byt he GOP..you can't get to that number...Remember after 2000, Hillary Clinton made a big deal about it..and it died two days later. Can you imagine Daschl;e going back to SDak and telling the peple there that he wants to abolish the EC..consigning SDak to insignificance in future presidential politics..
This is the reason democracy doesn't ever seem to work for 3rd world countries...
It's because real DEMOCRACY can't work! As soon as the lazy masses (in a REAL democracy) figure out that they can vote themselves the national treasury or the wealth of the minority of productive people the whole system crashes.
This was the genius of our founding fathers when they set up a republic and NOT A DEMOCRACY.
When this country was founded the ability to vote was considered a privilege that needed to be earned in some way, today voting is considered a "right" and that is the fundamental problem with our country for the last 50 years.
As I recall back in December 2000, Daschle said he would oppose an amendment to abolish the Electoral College. Anyway, the EC isn't as skewed as the US Senate. Why should CA with 35 million people have just 2 senators? Doesn't that violate the "one man one vote principle" (that is nowhere to be found in the Constitution)?
