Blah blah blah Paul and Mark. Get bent. I don't want California and New York state picking the POTUS every 4 years.

BS.

If the electoral college is eliminated we will be slaves forever. Until the nation falls.

I am not sure what they’re worried about. The largest cities plus MASSIVE voter fraud pretty much has neutered the Electoral College.

We aren’t a democracy - we’re a republic.

The authors are either ignorant, or ignoring, that the electoral college exists to protect our Republic union of States, and avoid its devolution into a democracy.

The greatest threat to democracy is, ironically, Democrats. They’re actually communists.

We are not a democracy! We are a republic with democratic principles.

The entire premise of the article is based in complete ignorance and would promote mob rule.

These people are blind fools eager to create a hellish tyranny.

There’s a process to change the Constitution, but it’s too difficult and probably impossible in this case, so they just bitch about it instead. Imagine trying to get 3/4s of the states to agree that California and NY should elect the President. There’s a lot of stupid people in this country, but not enough.

Elimination of the Electoral College is a red line. But unfortunately, it is one the RINOs will ignore, and the sheeple will follow as long as they’re paid off with government freebies.

Without the Electoral College, America will fail.

We don’t have a democracy, we have a representative republic, because a true democracy is nothing more than mob rule.

Every time I read the phrase “our democracy” all I can think of is the woke communist takeover and fagotization of our relatively free country.

Let’s remind every one that we do not have a “democracy” we have a Constitutional Republic. And this mistake makes the article Democrat propaganda.

The democrats figured out how to game the electoral college. And it doesn’t look like there’s going to be any remedy for it.
