NO!
The EC was put in place for a reason. And the founders have been shown, time and time again, to have known what they were doing.
Popular vote is BS. It is anti-Constitutional and anti-American.
“The presidential election is a national event, and it seems like it should be treated as such.”
What is this guy, 12 years old?
Wow. Did you know...
“Yes, President Joe Biden won the popular vote by 7 million votes, but he also won the Electoral College 306-232”
no
NEVER. And while it’s fresh in our minds, repeal the 17th
Correct. It would greatly increase cheating in dimocrat area
The EC and 2nd Amendment are the only things keeping America from being a mob-ruled society!
Removal of either of these would be the last step to our ultimate demise as a “civil” society!
No! NO! H@LL NO!
In the case of Arizona it is because of mail in voting. RATs have been stealing it since then. They have been fighting tooth and nail to prevent an audit of the last election .They know it will crumble their whole damn crime syndicate after it proves just how EVIL they truly are.
This is the dumbest article I’ve ever seen town hall publish, and I’ve seen them publish some dumb ones. Since the author asked, here’s why it’s a bad idea:
1) Voter fraud, which has become a primary concern for folks on the right in elections, will be incentivized by NPV. This does nothing to ensure that one citizen, one vote, one time is adhered to, and it opens the doors to so much confusion and standing issues that it would make legal challenges impossible.
2) even if voter fraud isn’t a thing, as Dems long claim it isn’t, the last election was a prime case study why nationalizing elections is bad. Dems leveraged high population areas with leaning on judges, tweaking rules, and selectively applying regulations to favor Dem concentration areas and “help” turnout in areas where it meant the most to turn a national election. Republicans, typically, were unprepared and unable to stop it. If NPV passes, Dems won’t have to play these games in areas where they may get caught, they’ll do it in NYC, LA and Chicago where a republican won’t even be able to get within 50 feet of a courthouse to challenge an election twisting rule.
3) Republicans haven’t won any of the territory back on the legal front they’d need to even be competitive at the national level in an NPV scenario. They’d be starting from behind with challenging voter roles, ballot collection and curing rules, etc...
4) since republicans have long ago ceded blue areas to the Dems outright, or in places like Philly ceded challenges to outright Dem control in favor of patronage carveouts to keep them fat and happy, they have a structural disadvantage to be competitive in urban areas for an NPV. It doesn’t mean they can’t compete, it means they’d have to get staff and supporters in higher density population areas in place and able to work effectively first. If they don’t want to do that now, they’re not going to suddenly start.
5) the Dems have been dishonestly pushing this idea for years. Dishonestly. They’re not going to earnestly help out republican concerns now.
Never !
Simple answer. NO
Hell No
“...particularly given the results of the last election. Yes, President Joe Biden won the popular vote by 7 million votes, but he also won the Electoral College 306-232, a margin former President Donald Trump considered a “massive landslide victory” even as he lost the popular vote in 2016.”
Assuming anyone with two functioning brain cells actually believes the last election was legitimate.
Myself and almost 80,000,000 Americans do not.
Morefield is as fool. He questions a brilliant constitutional concept in terms of whether or not it will benefit a political party.
I won’t be reading his “work” any more.
How long did it take to write this crap?
Barf alert?
No and Hell no
The Constitution and our entire system of limited gummint?
