Methinks perhaps the DBM knows something more than they're reporting?

How to better engineer the system Wouldn't sound engineering require a system that isolates and limits the effects of local vote fraud? Like the electoral college?
To: AT7Saluki
Of course the liberals want to scrap it. They control the heavily ‘Rat areas and know that with a minimum of effort and money, can dominate presidential races.
Here is a better idea. Get rid of the current Senate and divide the country into 100 geographic regions of roughly equal size which must not be shaped like a banjo (this keeps ‘Rats from dividing up Los Angeles to dictate to residents of the Mojave who their senator shall be), each region must have at least 100,000 people in it. Then the people of that region vote for their senator.
I’ll trade the EC for the Senate because the Republcans will control the Senate absolutely and the ‘Rats will have the WH only ocassionally.

The title of the office is “President of the United States” not “President of the American People.”

The system is a relic of the early days of the republic...
I'm amazed to see our proper form of government (a republic) used in an article about the means to end the republic, which is what scrapping the EC would do.

I think the electorate is almost to the point that it will be dumb enough to go along with this idea.

First you have to scrap the Constitution and federalism.

No, it’s just time to split up California into three states: California Bay (D), Middle California (R), and Southern California, where SD and OC will try to drown out LA.

I am sure those legal scholars, political scientists, and systems specialists gathered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are smarter and wiser than our Founding Fathers. Not.
What hubris. They will be among the first to be sent to the re-education camps come the BO revolution?

In 2004, one elector from MN voted for John Edwards, instead of Kerry.
I keep wondering if there are a handful of democrat electors who, like Lieberman, might vote for McCain (or even Hillary.)

The democrats would have a great advantage if there were no college.

We can’t just “scrap” the electoral college. It would take a new Constitutional amendment, which is no easy task.

Yeah, just great, now in a close election, instead of recounting ballots in one state, we get to recount every single ballot in all 50 states. Whoopeee!

The Drive-Bys want the president elected by a few large, very liberal, urban areas. The Electoral College prevents this and gives the rest of the country a say.

Somebody purchase Mr. Curry a copy of The Federalist Papers. He might be amazed at how much of this stuff was old in 1790.

Other than the Constitution, IMO, there is no greater part of the origin of our country than the design of the Electoral College.
Without it, 5 states of the 50 would elect our “leaders”.
