What's she up to? They must have a bipartisan agreement to reform this law if she is writing this...
Uniparty easily has 70% of legislative bodies.
By the way I had to lift this from another site since the NYT is paywalled 😡
She must be retiring as this will rightfully destroy her career.
I would modify it to the Nebraska-Maine EV- every congressional district gets its own Electoral Vote. the one who wins the most in the State gets those two EV’s.
In fact,given its ruling in January of last year,SCOTUS...the highest court in the land...made it clear that there are no rules when it comes to Presidential elections.
We can be damn sure that Rat Party Headquarters got the message that SCOUTUS was sending.
Vice chairman? She drinking this early?
“had obtained one electoral vote to be vice chairman of the USA — an workplace for which I used to be not a candidate”
Why does this read like it has been Google Translated from Armenian?
Wow - she rambles terribly!
It appears she wants to eliminate the potential for faithless electors. This, of course, could also mean that a dead person, having won the election and subsequently passed, could be elected (assuming the law doesn’t account for such).
The founders left the possibility of faithless electors in for a reason. They deliberately diminished the legislature’s authority in this area. Her rambling diatribe notwithstanding, what has invalidated those reasons for the founders to have constructed the ambiguous rules?
I have not yet found many such rules from the founding fathers that have been overcome by anything except the ambitions of unscrupulous men and women.
If Susan Collins actually wrote this, she is near incompetent.
Am I having a stroke or is this almost unreadable?
Vice Chairman? Are we in China?
The Dingbat wing of the RINO party speaks.
I hate the people who vote for her and give her political power.
Please think about that.
What a putz! Just adhere to the Electoral College and we’ll all be fine!
Go away Sue And take all your fellow Rinks with you.
What language was this originally written in?
Why not we just ask the DNC who would be our best choice and put them in office. Save money on voting and they don’t have to cheat any more.
I don’t know why there’s so much opposition to changing the Electoral Vote Act in the first place. There are plenty of conservative legal minds who think some of its key provisions are unconstitutional.
Shut up you ignorant cow.
Get rid of Collins from our Congress. Sickening.
The Founders were wise.
Changing the inauguration from March to January was arguably a mistake inasmuch as it does not allow sufficient time to sort out a mess. They managed, barely, in 1876. As it stands, it seems that people can only stand around and pretend there is no evidence of a mess that is capable of being investigated.
