Note to Boxer: How about we repeal the 17th Amendment first...
Heh heh heh. Ok "Senator".
Popular vote is you and two wolves voting on what’s for dinner. In no way is that fair or right.......unless of course you are one of the wolves.....
Good luck on getting 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the state legislatures to along with this.
This nonsense only comes up when democrats lose.
So that would be something like 20 aye,30 nay.
Hey Boxer, you useless twit, how about we Californians take a popular vote on whether your yearly income plus net worth be split amongst us?
Non starter. Would not get 3/4 of states.
Changing the electoral system will take a constitutional amendment and not a bill from a senator or congressman. Just fact.
In any case, Clinton won the state race in California. She just lost it in more places than she won it. She lost 30-20 in states. She won 3 large states to Trump’s 7 large states.
She lost in electors 228-306, I believe.
Every state not called California, New York, or Florida will oppose this measure. They would have no influence at all.
The electoral college was brilliant innovation of our founders, insuring that small states would still get a voice in the election.
Our Constitution was written by brilliant men and if followed, would have prevented the Kenayaneisan Usurpation.
Barack Obama is NOT a natural born citizen. He told us he was born a British subject as a result of his foreign national father.
this is good ad on why the electoral college is necessary.
Dumb woman Boxer thinks this can be changed by a Bill in Congress, even if it is signed by POTUS.
Silly B
“...that does not reflect our modern society...”
Ah and there it is. The Electoral College puts brakes on their desire to remake the U.S. in their image. It means the Constitution will continue to mean something and act as a bulwark against their attempt to seize power and crush those not in line with the New Order.
Yeah, California would love to decide all elections. Not going to happen.
California Version of “This land is Your Land.”
This land is your land
This land’s not my land
From your broken borders
To your Hollywood hoarders
From your polluted rivers
To your moral sinners
That land was made by you
not me.
Oh I have rambled
And followed the footsteps
From your gay hunkies
To your everywhere junkies
From your social programs
To your traffic logjams
That land was made by you
not me
As I went walking
Your potholed freeways
I saw above me
your smoggy skyways
The thing I was prayin
Was that your stayin
Because that land was made by you
not me.
Just have California and New York allocate EVs according to congressional district like Maine and Nebraska do.
Did any of these people ever take a civics course?
I say Donald J Trump would have won the election anyway because he would have campaigned in a far different manner in order to win the popular vote. Instead of concentrating on certain States, he could have concentrated on higher populated areas.
