I think the better thing to do would be to require all states to abide by the Electoral College system in order to prevent what some states have already promised to do: award all of their Electoral votes to the winner of the national popular voter regardless of how the people of that particular state voted. This mob rule mentality must be confronted and defeated!

I feel constrained to point out that there is no such thing as the “national popular vote”.

Any state that does that effectively takes itself out of the selection process and gives up its power.

There is no way the left could get an amendment passed, too many states would have to vote against their own interests.

However, there’s always the Supreme Court - they could just “interpret” the EC out of the Constitution.
