The day we have direct elections for President is the day this great Republic dies and is replaced by a dictatorship. I don’t doubt that there is a clever way by which some nefarious group of radicals believes they can get past the smell test on this, but they will have stiff challenges at many court levels and—assuming the public has not entirely lost it’s mind—we can push for a constitutional amendment to require that electors be chosen by the popular vote in each state. This is a stupid, evil idea.

I agree. It undermines the concept of federalism and ignores how this nation was formed. I am puzzled, however, why we should “push for a constitutional amendment to require that electors be chosen by the popular vote in each state?”
