Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) is set on Tuesday to unveil a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College and allow for the election of presidents by popular vote, The Daily Beast has learned.
The amendment is supported by other Democrats in the chamber, an aide said, including Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and senior members of the Senate Judiciary Committee: Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).

Sen Gillibrand releases this tweet:
Our democracy is built on the principle of one person, one vote. It can't function until we restore that principle. It's time to abolish the Electoral College.

Looks like Gillibrand has no familiarity with the "Federalist Papers". Based on her logic the body she is a member of should be abolished too.
Dead On Arrival.
Good luck with that, dems.
Vote on it now, it needs 67 to pass.
Wasn’t BUILT on one person one vote. Had to own property once upon a time.
Democrats want illegals and visitors stuffing ballots in local elections and want the voting age lowered to 16. When in our country’s history was this ever the case?
Stalinists lie. Always
This better not even come up for a vote. Why do we have a R majority in the Senate anyway...
Abolish Communism.
Democrats are hell bent on tearing down the Country. But that’s all liberals do. Destroy things.
They aren’t deep thinkers to be sure but can they at least grasp the name on the tin?
United STATES of America.
States is the noun. America is the modifier.
But Trump is just awful, the worst, he’ll never get re-elected! He only won by a handful of votes in key states! Russia did it!
Isn’t that what they are always saying?
So what’s the need for this then?
Psssstttt! I think she means ‘bullying/mob rule’.
Doesn’t have two-thirds of the House, two-thirds of the Senate nor 75% of states. All around failure.
Abolish subversive DemonRats.
Good deal. Get it out in the open where everybody can see it. Small states are really gonna go for it. Now let’s introduce a Constitutional amendment to repeal the 17th amendment and revert to the original state legislature election of Senators. The Rats are all about destroying the Constitution and our nation as we know it . . . open sedition.
Just for looks it appears sometimes.
They’re not stupid....but it’s been proven 50% of the country is. So they’ll take advantage of that statistic.
Hell NO!
How about repeal the 17th Amendment, for direct election of Senators.
These efforts by these traitors only reinforces the idea of the final solution which must be implemented to preserve this nation. His name is now on the list.
That's not how it works, Commies.
To paraphrase Solzhenitsyn:
"And how we laughed about the Democrats later, thinking: Too bad about those Security operatives who tried to enforce the Democrats' #FakeDemocracy..."
