Senator Durbin, given that the Electoral College is defined in both the main text of the Constitution (Article I Section 2) and the 12th Amendment, good luck trying replace that with a pure popular vote! And the only way to do it is with a new Amendment to the Constitution.

You will need to get two-thirds of both houses of Congress to pass a resolution to enable the Amendment process, and three-fourths of all state legislatures to pass the Amendment itself. I highly doubt it will make it even out of Congress.

Because it is a great idea to let LA, the Northeast Corridor, and Chicago elect our presidents.

“Good luck with that,Dick. “

Tell Dick, “yeah, we can change that law the minute you and the senate sign off on voter ID cards for everyone.”

If there was voter ID, Democrats would never win another election and they know it.

He knows his party's Commielistic policies are not accepted by the vast majority of Americans. As a result, he attempts to disenfranchise the voters in 48 States in order to maintain power and ensuring his party's further destruction of America.

This is an attempted coup and should be called as such.

“Twice in recent memory, a majority of American voters cast their vote for the losing presidential candidate.”


Sorry, Dick...not true.

Twice in recent memory, a majority of American voters (IN EACH STATE) cast their vote for the winning presidential candidate.

There are more people in two counties of Illinois than exist in my whole state.

What a despicable piece of garbage this guy is. The only time the Constitution matters to him is when he can misuse or misquote it.

If this is ever allowed to happen the east and west coast states (primarily NY and CA) will control all future elections.

I just went to “dickie’s” website and sent him the following.
I am sure I will get a nice response justifying his position. Yeah, right!

Are you out of your mind?
Have you ever read the constitution?
You do realize that the Electoral College was created and incorporated into the Constitution to prevent places like Philadelphia, New York City and Boston from putting whomever they wanted into the presidency while leaving entire states such as New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island and all of the other STATES with no say whatsoever?
Although we are ostensibly from the same community and even have been members of the same parish, I am always amazed at your complete lack of caring about anything other than your own political career and whatever the powers in Chicago tell you to do.
Perhaps you should move to D.C. since you seem to better represent the elite people inside the beltway than those in Illinois. Oh, I almost forgot, D.C. does not have a senator so you would lose your cushy job and all of its perks.
Try listening to the people in Illinois who are not cursed by living in Cook county and its environs or the other islands of left wing idolatry scattered across the state.
Every time I see an article with reference to you I am again reminded of how utterly unrepresented the people of Springfield are by you in the U.S. senate.
How about you propose a bill to place term limits on Senators? Two terms should be more than adequate then they could go back to being regular citizens instead of feeding off of the government teat forever.

Note to Dick Durbin:

How about putting some of your energy & money towards cleaning up ILLINOIS?

The reason for the Electoral College has been plain for all these years.

IF you want all the Presidents to be selected by New York &
California—look for the middle of the country to secede. They will be under a system of taxation without representation, among other things.

How do your Illinois constituents feel about not having a say in the Presidential Elections???

Screw your own head on straight, Durbin. You are off base with this.

That is soooo stereotypical. Didn’t we just KNOW that when some turd brain cobbled up a bill to destroy one of our guardrails against mob rule, it would be a turd brain like Durbin?
