No. But the people who want to get rid of it are.
No.
It’s absurd to think so.
It’s unAmerican to be against it, by definition pretty much.
They are against the US.
How can it be unAmerican when it is part of our Constitution and an integral part of our election process to ensure the federal system works for all states and citizens? Isn’t it unAmerican to suggest otherwise to undermine the federal system and empower the tyranny of the country’s several urban areas?
Joy,
The Constitution protects your right to be an idiot.
Not this crap again
What does this bitch know about being an American?
Were it not for the current method of voting - 14 counties would control every election is the US.
IOW, the people of Alaska, Wyo and other small States would be totally disenfranchised.
Allow ILLEGALS to vote and you get much the same effect.
Fight so-called motor voter and other ‘automatic’ voter registration schemes, they are part of the fraud machine built up by the Dems.
They redefine “American” like they redefine everything.
the Electoral College was one of the several checks and balances our Republic’s Founders set up to prevent the (extremely dangerous) excessive democracy as well known to history (Greece in ancient days, the bloody French Revolution in times near those of our Constitutional Convention, etc.)
it is very very American, our Founders worked hard to design it well (along with a state-appointed US Senate, alas now gone, and a prohibition on the federal govt assessing or collecting any individual income taxes, also alas now gone)
we should have stayed with the Republic our Founders designed for us! As Ben Franklin said, they gave us “a republic, if you/we could keep it.”
well, we didn’t. and now we have the consequences of, in effect, the very sort of dictatorship they feared
Joy Behar is un-American.
Should mentally deranged libtards be allowed on TV?
It’s designed to keep un-Americans from ruling.
You can’t get more American than being codified in the Constitution. Article II, Section 1, Clauses 2 and 3.
President AOC and Democratic Congress will pass a law banning the Electoral College in 2047.
First of all, there’s no such thing as a national popular vote. Without the electoral college, any dispute as to who won would require a national recount. Impossible. Find anyone who thinks that’s a good idea. Proponents of eliminating the electoral college have no idea that there is no such thing as a national popular vote.
Those who oppose the Electoral College want to hand America over to tyranny!
We must NEVER allow that!
They designated electors to each of the three political branches with the purpose of each institution in mind.1 As opposed to the House and Senate, whose members know their employers and thus whom they must satisfy, the Framers’ President was unbeholden to the people-at-large, states, Congress, faction, or collection of factions – what we know as political parties.
Our Framers discarded the ages-old methods of appointing chief executives. We cannot thank them enough! They devised a third body, neither popular nor aristocratic, a temporary electoral college to whom their choice, the President, owed nothing!
Thanks to a few electors, passing electors who did not hold federal office themselves, the Framers’ President didn’t owe his office to either the masses or elites.
He could do his duty to the Constitution and not to a political party.
They want those 14 counties to control elections.
They don’t want the Senate, either. Mob rule is what we have now, to a great degree. Once the EC falls it will get really crazy.
