This is just step one in trying to undo the electoral college. The democrats will take decades to push the popular vote through to fruition and this is their opening salvo.

A very long process that will involve amending the Constitution and will need to be ratified by 75% of the 50 states (38 of 50 states).

Democrats are not in a position of power to get traction on this anytime soon. Republicans control the majority of the state legislatures.

"Democrats are not in a position of power to get traction on this anytime soon."

True, but, they were not in a position to teach students their leftist lies 30 years ago and yet have managed to push our country their way. Constitutional conservatism must be a priority or in another 30 years the checks and balances our framers designed will be eroded further.

My point is that this recount is not about this election it's about sowing the seeds of doubt and discord that will lead to the, "popular vote" becoming accepted by the masses. The uniparty federalism must be constrained, not through populism but through the greatest wall ever constructed, THE CONSTITUTION!
