Civil war will ensue.
Even if these idiots got their constitutional amendment to eliminate the electoral college, They’d STILL lose the election. What makes these people think that they would win a simple majority vote if the candidates were actually campaigning to win it?
Don’t they understand that they’re claiming victory in a game that nobody was playing?
There is so much they don’t realize...
If these are in states where Hillary won, changing their votes won’t matter. Further, they’d have to get a lot from several states to make this happen.
If for some reason they are successful, they will be responsible for bringing war to the streets of this country.

ELECTION

They should all prove they are serious and vote for someone other than hillary.
The overwhelming majority of the extra votes that gave Clinton the “popular vote” came from California. SO those morons want one state — really two metroplexes, Los Angeles and San Francisco — to decided our presidential elections? The stupidity of the Left continues to astound.
Shine a light on these cockroaches, and they will run away.
Their names are public record, publish who these anarchists are so the American People know who the enemy is,
After the Electors vote, the vote is recorded and sent to Congress. Here, the House of Representatives verify the results and make them official.
However, that verification is not a rubber-stamp! The House can reject individual votes.
So this changes nothing.
However, bet the Left-wing media and democrats (same thing) would use it to “prove” how undemocratic the House Republicans are, and beat the drum about “stolen electoral votes” for years to come. That still won’t change the outcome of the election, but will further harm the country and erode the government, which they don’t give a f$%# about as long as they get to be in charge and tell the rest of us what to do.
It’s that simple. They’re not about the will of the people and the method of government we’ve had since 1787, but about being in charge and getting their way.
Yep, good luck convincing three fourths of the state’s to shift the balance of power to a handful of hugely populated states.
The Electoral College is one of the most important provision ever put into the Constitution. It prevents tyranny of the majority, particularly when the majority represents a comparatively small geographical portion of America (cities), and is overly representative of a specific way of life (i.e. urban). Why should people in Manhattan determine what regulations and tax burdens farmers in Iowa are likely to have?
How would these people who advocate doing away with the Electoral College feel about doing away with the Supreme Court, and having all decisions made by popular vote?
Man—Talk about trying to create a news story.

Well then I guess it’s a good thing more republican electors will actually be voting.
The founders decided that the electors would vote in their own states so that they would be free from undue influence, collusion and bribery which might prevail if they gathered in the capital to vote as a single body. If the democrat electors are trying to influence their colleagues outside of their states they are in conflict with the protections of the constitution. If they are trying to influence them inside their own states they are disregarding their own voters. They should be named and exposed as subversives.
My problem with all these shenanigans is they demanded the Republicans and Conservative base simply rollover and accept everything they did for the LAST EIGHT YEARS. Forget about just the election and all the fraud they use to get the popular vote...let's really consider how they are acting and have acted!
There is simply no respecting the Rule of Law for these liberal, progressive, democrats and it is time to slap their treasonous butts down.
We need to go out to the 'petition' sight and start a 'petition' to strike back at them. We need to create a whole language (like their Political Correctness Speech) that focusses on the Free Speech of Treason and what it sounds like.
Oaths and honor mean nothing to these scumbag bastards.
I don’t know. Much of the. Constitution has been eliminated without amendments.
And these jerks were lecturing Trump about accepting the result just a couple weeks ago. The hypocrisy is incredible!
You almost want to say that the left must lack self awareness or a capacity for shame in order to be such hypocrites, but on second thought it’s probably simple arrogance or more precisely self-righteousness. When you’re on the side of the angels you’re not bound by such lowly constraints as being consistent.
