Elizabeth Warren: 'End Electoral College'

[Lakhota]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Monday that she fully supports abolishing the Electoral College and moving toward a national vote, the first time the 2020 presidential candidate has publicly taken the stance.

“My view is that every vote matters,” the Massachusetts Democrat said to roaring applause at her CNN presidential town hall at Jackson State University in Mississippi. “And the way we can make that happen is that we can have national voting, and that means get rid of the Electoral College.”

I agree. I always thought america was a democracy...but when Bush Jr got elected we the citizens of the world were shocked. And that's when we found about the electoral college. It really gives the power to the crazy minority and that's why we have trump and his crazies....the US should join the democratic countries and abolish the EC.

 

[Chuz Life]

The Twelfth Amendment says that's a NO.

Now, Go back to civics class and try to stay awake this time.

LOL.

Yeah Warren tells a stupid lie that no one in their right mind gives a shit about (like anyone - other then a Native American - is going to vote for her because she said she was one, small part Native...riiiiiiiiight).

Trump tells lie after lie, false claim after false claim - as President - and you don't even give a shit.

Talk about hypocrisy.

You just have a ridiculously-intense hatred for anyone who does not think like you do politically.

And you have - IMO - near-ZERO cred with anyone who is not a Trumpbot on such matters.


Hell, I don't even give a shit about Warren and I think she is far, too extremist (like Sanders) to be good for America as POTUS. But her one, silly lie is FUCKING NOTHING compared to the falsehoods Trump unfurls on a weekly basis.
And yet, you seem blind to them all.

You are simply pathetic....worthy of pity. You are either monumentally stupid and/or monumentally delusional about Trump.

Have a nice day.

From the OP:

In the Electoral College system, each state has as many electors as it has representatives and senators in Congress, which gives a slight advantage to states with smaller populations. Most states require that all electoral votes go to the candidate who wins the popular vote in that state.

Warren’s comments came just days after Colorado joined 11 other states and the District of Columbia in challenging the Electoral College’s power. Members of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact plan to allocate their electoral votes to the next presidential candidate who wins the nationwide popular vote.

The plan only works if the law is passed by states representing at least 270 Electoral College votes, the number needed to win the presidential race. That number is at 181 after Colorado signed the measure into law Friday.

Eliminate the Electoral College and disenfranchise 5/8th of the nation's voters.

Sounds like the Democrats have finally come up with a way to win back the White House.

You’re a Trump worshipper and you’re calling out another Presidential candidate for lying? Really?

From the OP:

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton beat President Donald Trump by almost 3 million votes in the 2016 election by leading in strongly Democratic states. But Trump eventually won with the Electoral College’s help in swing states like Wisconsin and Michigan. Trump is the fifth United States president to have taken office without winning the national popular vote.

 

[Lakhota]

The founders were wise men for their time - but in hindsight they did some dumb shit. The Electoral College is dumb shit.

Why should a vote in Montana be worth more than a vote in Pennsylvania?

 

[Auld Phart]

Why should a states electors go against the majority of a state?

The US has never been a Democracy. I bet you think we can just end the Electoral College by some vote by people like yourself ?

The nations elections should not be decided by America's urban centres, run by party hacks.
