This would include a pretty major re-write of the Constitution, and not even RBG could twist and contort the words that much as they are now written.
\
Article II, Section 1, second paragraph, which directs the appointment and number of members of the Electoral College, by each State, in such manner as each Legislature may direct, apportioned by the number of Representatives and Senators to which the State may be entitled to by Congress.

Nothing, anywhere, allows for direct election of a President and/or Vice President by popular vote of the electorate at large.

The Twelfth Amendment does make a modification of this process, but it will remains the selection of Electors by each State Legislature, and not a word about reference in any way, shape, manner, or form to the overall popular vote on a national basis.

Our Founding Fathers did this for a reason! We know the DemonRat party does not even care what our Founding Fathers thought.
