I see Fox News is big mad about abolishing the electoral college.

So let’s talk about it.

1) If the GOP were the “silent majority” they claim, they wouldn’t be so scared of a popular vote.

They *know* they aren’t the majority. They rely on establishing minority rule for power.

2) This common claim about “if we don’t have the Electoral College then a handful of states will determine the presidency” is BS.
a. It’s the *EC itself* that breaks down power by state, pop vote decentralizes it

b. The EC makes it so a handful of states DO determine elections

3) LASTLY, this concept that the Electoral College is provides “fairness” to rural Americans over coastal states doesn’t hold any water whatsoever. First of all, virtually every state has rural communities. NY. California. Much of our states are rural.

But very importantly...

4) We do not give electoral affirmative action to any other group in America. Do Black Americans have their votes count more bc they have been disenfranchised for 100s of years? Do Reservations get an electoral vote? Does Puerto Rico and US territories get them? No. They don’t.

5) The Electoral College isn’t about fairness at all; it’s about empowering some voters over others.

Every vote should be = in America, no matter who you are or where you come from. The right thing to do is establish a Popular Vote. & GOP will do everything they can to fight it.

OP ...

Constitutional Amendment REQUIRED.
A Constitutional Amendment REQUIRES 2/3 of the STATES to APPROVE

Such a change is going to totally disadvantage about 90% of the states so WHY would they be inclined to APPROVE the change?


Some states that are disadvantages "may" approve it ... but getting a vast majority of the states that are disadvantaged to approve it? VERY UNLIKELY.

The Electoral College is nothing new. It has been there since the country was founded. It was put in for a reason ... precisely so the masses of people in the populated states did not overwhelm and then dictate to the people of those states that were more lightly populated. It is one of the most basic underlying principles of our form of Government.

Next thing you will be demanding is that the US Senate get proportioned out according to population. The fact that each state ONLY gets 2 Senators follows the same exact logic of the founders, something that you in your infinite wisdom obviously disagree with even though that has now been in place for 230 years.

OP ... you keep REPOSTING this issue almost every day. Give it a break!

Just reporting the facts...

I am for our current system as outlined in our Constitution.

The rest of the nation is asleep at the wheel and usually do not know the facts of the necessary steps to actually change it.

AOC wants it changed to fit her and her facilitators needs. To do so will destroy our Constitutional Republic.
