Babs, all of those years in the Senate and you still never figured out that we live in a constitutional republic, not a democracy, hence in some ways we can be undemocratic. The founders put this in among other things so that we have a devolution of power and the majority cannot tyrannize the minority. I know you think that the California liberals are the most important people on the planet, but the founders thought that the farmers in Iowa and the ranchers in Wyoming were equally important and deserve a say....
Disgusting.
Babs and 3/4 of the dimwits need to be introduced to either a gangplank and or water boarding.
Barbara Trotsky is at it again. A loud incompetent meddler with no understanding of the US Constitution..
The only way the deranged Hillary could have received more popular votes was thru voter fraud, Boxer knows this. It is time that we recognize that the Dems are criminals and will sink to any depths to win.
So the pea brain from the state that holds the most power by far in the electoral college, thinks it is unfair and outdated. Okay fine. We need to declare that a significant percentage of the population in Kalifornia is illegal and shrink it’s 55 to 35.
This would require a Constitutional Amendment. It would get wide support in CA, NY and IL but nothing, zero, zilch anywhere else.
Gee, Babs. Article I of the Constitution is an outdated, undemocratic system that does not reflect our modern society. Go find a job a Hardees' that you are underqualified for. Maybe someone will pay you what you are worth...
From the movie backdraft:
Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: “You see that glow flashing in the corner of your eye? That’s your career dissipation light. It just went into high gear.”
Barbara Box-car and her evil twin Diane Fein-swine are two prime examples of why we need term limits in the House and Senate. As are McLame, Graham and a few others.
Let’s hope this is one of Mr. Trump’s campaign promises that gets fulfilled, and soon!
Which is why I coined the Phrase, “Dumber than a Box of Barbara Boxers”
“”I have seen two elections where the winner of the general election did not win the popular vote””
And those wouldn’t have happened to be losses for the dems, would they? Get lost, Boxer. We have put up with you long enough.
You can't just introduce a routine bill to end the Electoral College. Since the Electoral College procedures currently in place are specified in the Constitution (specifically the Twelfth Amendment), you must introduce a Constitutional amendment.
Since a Constitutional amendment would require a 2/3 approval vote in the Senate and a 2/3 approval vote in the House, followed by approval in 38 state legislatures, seems that you are intentionally doing an "end run" around the Constitutional amendment procedure.
BTW, there have been many attempts in Congress down through the years to eliminate the Electoral College. All have failed, and yours will surely meet the same fate.
Will she also get rid of the Senate, since it operates by the same system and exists for the same reason?
Seems absurd New Hampshire has the save votes in the Senate as does Texas or California.
Just abolish it and have the House!
Barbara Boxer is so much more smarter then those guys who founded the country and whose success as a free country for more then two hundred years we owe so much to.
Why hasn’t anyone else seen thru this electoral collage problem before Barbara Boxer?......
The electoral process is written into the Constitution. It can only be changed through a Constitutional Amendment.
