Hillary Calls For End To Electoral College
ALBANY, New York, Nov. 20, 2000
(AP) Senator-elect Hillary Rodham Clinton began a victory tour of upstate New York Friday by calling for elimination of the Electoral College.
At an airport news conference, the first lady said she would support legislation seeking a constitutional amendment providing for the direct election of the president.
At the moment, Americans are waiting to see who wins Florida's 25 electoral votes and thus becomes the next president. Vice President Al Gore leads Republican George W. Bush in the popular vote nationwide.
"We are a very different country than we were 200 years ago," Clinton said. "I believe strongly that in a democracy, we should respect the will of the people and to me, that means it's time to do away with the Electoral College and move to the popular election of our president."
The first lady also said that because of the closeness of this year's presidential election, "I hope no one is ever in doubt again about whether their vote counts."
Clinton was accompanied by Green Island Democrat Rep. Michael R. McNulty, who has co-sponsored electoral college legislation introduced by Illinois Republican Rep. Ray LaHood. LaHood has introduced his bill in each of the last two congressional sessions, but aside from a 1997 hearing granted as a favor by House Judiciary Chairman Henry Hyde, R-Ill., it has not advanced.
McNulty thinks the measure will gain momentum if Gore wins the popular vote but loses the electoral tally.
Remember in the weeks before the 2000 election when the Dems thought they would lose the popular vote and win in the Electoral College, Gore, Hillary, the NYT and El Globo amongst others, were all singing the praises of the wisdom of the Founders. It was only when they lost that they discovered how "anachronistic" the EC was.
Clowns without scruples, they turned on a dime to their new position.
