Yeap the Leftist mantra for over a century. They claim they are shocked when there are "unintended" consequences. I guess Mr. Holder never heard of Chesterston's Fence.
So California and NY can steal the country for democrats with illegal votes.
The Founding Fathers had it right — they created the electoral college so New York wouldn’t determine the presidency every time.
Besides...
1. If you take away at least the more than a million illegal aliens who voted (13% admitted they voted) about 640,000 votes for Hillary should have been nullified. Holder, you airhead, how about suggesting a better way to identify voters who are not citizens and put them in a TSA “no vote” database.
2. If all the absentee ballots were to be counted, Trump (and GWB over Gore) would have won by several hundred thousand votes (If a candidate wins outright above the total number of absentee ballots, they don’t even count those ballots). DUH.
3. Remove California from the count and Trump wins by 2.5 million votes. About the same if New York is removed. If we had popular vote, candidates could eliminate the campaign trail altogether and have their rallies in the 5 biggest cities in the USA. Both Gore and Hillary won less than 200 counties nationwide, while Trump and GWB won more than 1,300 counties.
Eric Holder, go back to south Chicago and try to do something something useful for once in your life — like fighting crime and helping to reduce the murders there.
Why not just hold all elections in Los Angeles and New York City? Offer free transportation within the cities, with stops at all the liquor stores, welfare office, and abortion houses. What could go wrong?
Eric Holder: “Abolish The Electoral College”
Sure you cretin then we could have the Clinton Criminal Cartel running the country into the hole you and your Muslim buddy started.
Time to look deeply into the gun running scheme you and the bony phony began. Time og reckoning for the criminals that are leaving office now.
Eric Holder = ignorance personified
How about we just go by the number of states won?
This will keep them busy for decades. They're stupid and narcissistic, so they imagine that everybody will agree them.
They'll need to get 2/3rds of the smaller states to agree to hand over a great deal of their political influence in the country's affairs to New York and California.
They'll think it's easy. Tell them "just get a constitutional amendment and good luck"!
How about no?
I have a better idea... prosecute Eric Holder!
First of all, it would take a Constitutional Amendment to do so, not just a Leftist bullhorn.
Secondly, the Electoral College is one of the wonderful constitutional devices that implements America’s unique representative, republican, and decentralized form of government. Technically, America is not a democracy which tends towards centralization and the “tyranny of the majority”. America is a republic, giving powerful voice to the minority as well as the majority. The Electoral College implements decentralized power by appointing a representative number of state electors throughout the country as Steve Feinstein explains below.
“Thank G-d we have [the Electoral College], or else California and N.Y. would determine every election. Every time....[T]he Electoral College brilliantly smooths out the variances in the voting proclivities among states and regions. Farmers in the middle of the country and importers and exporters on the shore get roughly equal say, as do Madison Ave. execs and factory workers in Tennessee...without the Electoral College, the country’s entire population is subject to the disproportionate voting preferences of the few most populous states.”

In Chesterton’s admonition, you don’t remove a fence when you don’t know the historical reason for its existence in the first place.
No, that mechanism, from the wisdom of our founders, just saved our country. It wouldn't even have been that close without rampant voting and election fraud.
Establish voter eligibility rules and voter ID, bipartisan counting panels mandates.
Abolish Election Fraud!
Given that the Electoral College is particularly well respected in a good number of smaller states it would be mighty difficult to get three quarters.
Mighty difficult.
Umm, yeah, NO
The Electoral College SAVED US from Gore (had he won, we wouldn’t be here in our forum right now), and is in the process of SAVING US from what can only be called a One Party DICTATORSHIP, which is what was coming with uncontested control of the courts (and thereby fully neutralizing Congress).
If you asked a guy from Mars if the Electoral College made sense, he’d say that it looks really silly and useless. If you ask an American that actually wants to leave his kids a country somewhat similar to the one he grew up in, he’d now say it was a GODSEND.
I’d rather abolish the liberal !
CNN predicts that Trump will win the imaginary “popular vote” when all voted are tallied.
Then what, Holder? More violence from you losers?
