In order to put this halfassed “scheme” in place, all voter fraud would have to be prevented. No illegal aliens would be allowed to vote. Only U.S. Citizens could cast ballots. All ballots would have to be counted including all mail-in ballots as well as all provisional ballots. No ballot could remain uncounted. All voting machines would need to somehow be verified to stop incidents like Detroit where every ballot for Clinton registered 6 votes. No one knows who actually got the most legal votes in the last election. Given the massive fraud found in just the three states that were recounted I strongly suspect Trump won the popular vote by a lsndslide.
poster on JackPineRadicals (a surprisingly good site despite their politics) had an excellent point to make regarding abolishing the electoral college:
Furthermore, a straight up national popular vote for president requires one more thing… national reciprocity of vote legitimacy. For State A to recognize the legitimacy of State B votes/voters, State A is going to want all of the voters from State B to be vetted/accredited/accounted for in a similar fashion as their own State A voters. Basically, any state that requires voter IDs if going to want every other state’s voters to be similarly qualified if all the votes get lumped together nationally. I believe a push for nationwide popular vote will see a big counter-demand for nationwide standardization of Voter ID Law.....I’m just saying that if you lump ALL people from all states together into one big pool of popular votes – certain states are going to DEMAND that if you individual votes to count equally across state lines, then the qualifications to across state lines should also be identical/equal. And frankly, it’s not an unreasonable request....Unfortunately, the only way to really do that is implementing some sort of ID law or something… and getting all sides to agree to some sort uniform voter registration/ID is going to be like herding cats. Realistically, I don’t see it happening.
