Here’s a question. If regional interests, goals and desires aren’t important and worth keeping on a level playing field with other hugely populated, concentrated (geographically) areas, then why succumb to the interest of a National Popular vote?

Why have two Senators from each state? Just base it on population. And so on. Just let each little state and sparsely populated area get beat up by the big dog. I mean, what does it matter?

The fact is, the Democrats want everything to be ‘popular’ vote where LA, NYC, Chicago and all those other cities of massive infestation can lord over every good and decent area with just as much claim on this country as they have.

Allowing this serves only to make the job of Democrat cheating confined to just a few locales.

There is a reason the founders set up a two per state Senatorship, there is a reason the Electoral College forces country wide prominence. Changing this just resigns us all to the despotic whims of Democrats forever.

Since the passage of the 17th amendment, one could even ask,
“Why have senators? Why have states?”

Absolutely correct. Doing away with the Electoral College or tying electoral votes to the national totals is the sure path to One Party Rule, the Democrat Party dream of the near final victory.

The final victory will be when 1) they mandate that everyone of voting age MUST vote or be subject to some IRS levy and 2) job candidates will be rejected when applying for jobs unless they prove they are loyal Democrat Party members.

Its coming.............its only a matter of time.
