Whatever the Democrats want right now is the most important thing in the MSM’s world.
It’s because they are starting to no longer be able to get away with the fraud that is needed to substitute for the Electoral College.
In other words, you can insert or retract "a specified number" of votes into specific districts for the electoral win.
But the can't do the same with the popular vote. It's just too huge and unrelieable.
This makes me think that the democommies are well aware that Trump won in 2020 by a good 20 million votes, if not more.
The last election showed them how to game the electoral vote in selected states and selected voting districts …much easier than manipulating the popular vote
Of course it was.
I hate this state.
The last election didn’t show them that. That’s been their standard operating procedure for at least 60 years, probably more.
I love certain place in Maryland, but I WOULD NEVER LIVE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There can be no second thoughts.
Democrats seeking to destroy the electoral college must be permanently exterminated as enemies of the Republic
They must not be allowed existence
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
They just don't care.
They will have gotten what they wanted. (Why would they care?)
I like our Constitutional system much better.
The Electoral College as it works today limits the harm any one bad actor can do in a presidential election.
Unless group rigging is involved democrat party winks.
I have always believed the Electoral College could be reformed away from “winner takes all” for each state (538 total national votes) to electoral votes based on the popular votes in each county, in each state (more than 3,000 US counties).
That way is much more representative of voters opinions and gets rid of the dominance by one or two major municipalities in each state. Maine and Nebraska can split their EV votes by voting district and away from winner take all.
Oregon for example, is dominated by Portland Metro, while many other parts of the state are quite conservative. Anywhere from 5-7 counties, home to more than 800,000 citizens, have joined the effort to split off from Oregon to move their affiliation to Idaho because they know they are not represented by the current system.
It will likely fail on Constitutional grounds but it points out the problems with lack of true representative democracy.
As a Californian who is aware of the criminally loose conduct of elections in this state - registration on an “honor system” that requires no proof of citizenship, voting without voter ID - I realized in 2000 that the Electoral College actually works as a firewall, limiting California’s electoral crimes and corruption to this state. No matter how much they cheat, Dems in CA can only reap 54 Electoral votes. Eliminating the Electoral College would allow California - with its enormous population - to literally nullify election margins in multiple states with illegal votes.
One positive to living in Maryland is that it is so expensive that after years of living there, you move to Florida and it’s practically free. For example my 2800 square foot home in Maryland, property taxes were 8400 a year. My 2300 square foot home in Florida, property taxes are 2,080 a year. Yes I lost 500 square foot but still…..then Maryland state taxes were extremely high to florida’s zero! The only things more expensive are water (big time) and food (about a dollar per item more), but still……
Not according to FRacebook! LOFL...
Most people aren’t aware of the College and far fewer understand its importance and simple congruence with the American federal republic. State-based College electors interface with Congress, and like the pre-17th Amendment Congress, the College is both democratic and federal.
There’s no doubt that direct election is outwardly simple. It is so simple, it’s the way of Venezuela and Russia. However, when it comes to securing liberty, history has not been kind to the worldwide record of direct presidential elections.
Well, I’m moving to Florida in November. Feel free to follow me down there.
