Destroying the Electoral College: The Anti-Federalist National Popular Vote Scheme

The outcome is clear as the table is being set.

If the 2020 election is close to within 50 points, then the liberal progressives will force the states to side with their decision to go with popular vote. If so, then it WILL be a constitutional crisis. This might precipitate a civil war. Are youse guys are ready for this? Think hard before you answer.

Outcomes...

[1] DJT reelected by clear majority. Media has a hissy fit, Same old. Same old.

[2] DJT elected by narrow margin, democrats try to over turn using every method they can think of. DJT prevails. BLM and Antifa start throwing terrorist motivated temper tantrums.

[3] DJT elected by narrow margin. Democrats try to over turn election. RINO's back the democrats. DJT fights back - Civil War ignited.

[4] Democrat elected by clear majority. DJT steps down. Rinos go to their constituents and tell them all these great ideas they have to get back in power. Yada yada yada. Conservatives go home and do nothing. Progressive strangle hold is finalized during the first term of the new democrat president, and guns are banned within two years (after a gun-related false flag event in the first six months after the election). Conservatives turn in their guns, under the watchful eyes of their loved ones, and children who are organized by the schools to report non-comrade behaviors.

What do you think will happen? It is obvious that the stage is being set. I cannot see it pan out any other way.

If too many individual purple states (if it happened in a red state that would be surprising) each changed their laws to allocate electors based on the national popular vote that would be very dangerous. And they would not need a US Constitutional amendment to do it.

Correct - the only Constitutional issue is states entering into a compact to do so. But there's no evidence that even the blue-est state is willing to so decide without a compact.

A blue state allocating electors proportional to the national popular vote would tend to lose electoral votes for the dems. A blue state giving all its electors the the winner of the national popular vote would not change the electors for that state. Maine switching to winner-take-all based on either the national, or statewide popular vote might make a small difference.

The danger is that the red and blue states keep their current systems but the purple ones change to winner-of-the-national-popular-vote-take-all. I expect the big metro areas to keep getting bigger and voter fraud to get worse.
