Title Only.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution states:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 of the Constitution states:

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing [sic] the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 3 of the Constitution provided the original plan by which the electors chose the president and vice president.

the Twelfth Amendment in 1803—prescribing electors cast separate ballots for president and vice president—to replace the system outlined in Article II, Section 1, Clause 3.

They make up lies because:

1) They know their base is under educated
2) They know that the lie will be received as ‘truth’ by their base
3) They know the lie received as truth will allow the attempt to do away with the EC to proceed.

Because they know from their internal polling and analysis that,for the foreseeable future at least,the Electoral College is their enemy.

Liberals LOVED the electoral college when they won it..do they understand how difficult it is for ANY Republican to win the White House with the electoral college the way it is..Democrats have an automatic advantage from the get go..they get California, NY, NJ and those states have the highest electoral count..it is the Republican who has the disadvantage but hey since a Republican wins the White House all of a sudden Dems don’t like it anymore. They would rather base elections on who wins California and New York

A young kid I know said we need to give up the Electoral College.

I said, the smaller states will never agree.

Oh, they have to agree he said.

the D party has been taken over by an evil cabal bent on imposing a total dictatorship ... Obama would have succeeded, imho, had he been in office just a little while longer ... and most assuredly hilLIARy would have finished the job had she managed to sneak her way into our White House

5) They may not know what’s in the Constitution themselves.

It’s typical Dem SOP: they just make it up as they go along. Like another poster said: the lame-stream media will never call them on it.

So the SJWs will accept it as gospel and go out and knock a few heads together or destroy some property as part of their ritual cleansing.

Just wait. Chatter among the loony left for an outright repeal of the 2nd Amendment is growing. By the time 2018 rolls around they'll be frothing at the mouth demanding it.

I can't wait until the 2020 Democrat nominee for pres. will run with repeal of the 2nd Amendment as a central part of their platform.

DNC Perez could just be stupid.

He may really not understand the story of American independence and the Constutution.

Here is something I noticed recently.

The way in which normal people understand stories, and the way in which the leftist understand the same story, is quite different.

Two examples:

1. Bernie Sanders completely misunderstands the Robin Hood story as pointed out this week by Ted Cruz.
2. hillary Clinton completely misunderstands 1984 as is clear when she tries to reference it in her book

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Tom Perez is a ‘rat’...’rats’ are evil, dwell in sex (any kind), sleazy, crooks, liars, thieves, will do anything for a dollar, and I do mean ‘anything’...

Looking around at people like Obama, Clintons, bushes, lynch, holder, mclame, graham, schumer, Pelosi, Di-Fi, Dingy Hairy Reid, ‘rat’ Romney, John Kerry, and the list goes on and on, this is what the ‘rats’ are...

The Founders knew about weasels like Perez and how they would undermine the will of the people through the majority rule of the most populous cities. They feared a tyrant could manipulate public opinion and come to power. Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers:

“It was equally desirable, that the immediate election should be made by men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station, and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice. A small number of persons, selected by their fellow-citizens from the general mass, will be most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations. It was also peculiarly desirable to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder. This evil was not least to be dreaded in the election of a magistrate, who was to have so important an agency in the administration of the government as the President of the United States. But the precautions which have been so happily concerted in the system under consideration, promise an effectual security against this mischief.”

Similar thoughts. A lie is saying something you know is untrue. I doubt Perez and most other liberals have any idea what is and isn't in the Constitution.

While their comments may in fact be lies, they might just as well be displays of their ignorance or wishful thinking.

It says what they want it to say subject to continuous and whimsical revision. It’s their idea of the rule of law. The truth is never am obstacle to a liberal.
