And as soon as their candidate loses the “popular” vote, they will cry and scream that it shouldn’t be that way.

(No, I’m NOT saying that happens today....)

[RandallFlagg]

Democrats want us to be The United States of California and New York.

[Grampa Dave]

They can change the constitution, legally.

Enough of this light Coup B$!

[caww]

Exactly....they just want NY and California to determine who is President.....NOT going to happen.

Without the electoral college we would be.

The founders were remarkably wise.

The rural states feed and fuel the urban states. If the EC goes away expect some,if not all of those states to consider leaving the union and forming their own country.

The clue is in the country’s name - the United STATES of America. STATES being the key word.

[yoe]

EVERY VOTE COUNTS!! - FAKE NEWS ON RADIO AND T.V. SAY OTHERWISE..remember these pigs...

[Tench_Coxe]

Rural states to the coastal elites:"You like to eat, don't you?" (There's a whole host of other things)
If you're going to disenfranchise a large swath of the country, don't be surprised if they play hardball.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

They want ballot box stuffing in Democrat-controlled big states to be able to dictate the Presidency to the rest of the country.

Democrats want us to be The United States of California and New York.

Tough Luck. We are The United States.

[PGR88]

The EC is a limit on absolute and centralized power. Its quite simple.

our founders were extremely wise.

[A Navy Vet]

Popular vote equals MOB rule. Good luck getting an Amendment to the Constitution doing away with the Electoral College, because that is what it would take.

[neverevergiveup]

Well, I despise narcissistic activist politicians, and the Democrats have tons and tons of them.

I wouldn't send Hillary or Kamala or Bernie to the store for milk, with a note. I don't think Hillary would have made it through a program in engineering, or science, or medicine, but law school (which has intellectual demands which can be circumvented by being political and being an accomplished bs’er) was perfect for her.

[crz]

Without it this republic wouldnt exist.

They ever get rid of it the city slickers had better stay in the city, because they wont ever be safe in the rural areas.

[Leep]

What Politics needs most is less politicians.

[cymbeline]

So does our governmental structure with the Senate (the senior branch) being composed of two senators from each state.

[Sacajaweau]

This was probably the greatest creation in the Constitution. We can see how effective it is/was just by looking at the populations of NY and Ca.

[Fresh Wind]

The Electoral College is the firewall that protects us from massive vote fraud in the big blue states, particularly by illegal aliens who have no business voting in our elections.
