Elizabeth Warren: 'End Electoral College'

The problem with the electoral college is that Republicans found a way to manipulate it. I get the complaints about it but were we to fix that they'd simply find another way to fix elections (because there are simply not enough Republicans to win except in regionals areas and even there ,usually by use of gerrymandering).

But the wing nuts are correct. It would take an Amendment.

What a dumbass cartoon! Americans don`t vote for Dems anymore and that`s why "crooked Hillary" had 3 million more votes than Orange Jesus and they gained 40 seats in the mid terms. Now do you feel stupid?

Won't happen.
Thread is another exercise in futility.

Don`t be so sure that it won`t happen. Women and non whites get to vote these days and I`m sure people thought that would never happen either.

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.”

Amen! I couldn't agree more! Elections should be about people - not acreage! BTW, the rest of the link is worth reading.

Every vote does matter... On your State level...

The real reason why you and Warren want to abolish the Electoral College?

Your political party can not win in key swing States, so let change the rules where you flood the polls in California to win...

38 States (75%) must agree to a Constitutional amendment. Is there another means to pass an amendment? With 38 States required there is little likelihood that the Electoral College is repealed.

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.

Because you're ignorant.

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

W. Bush won that election and when considering the progressive socialist fraud votes won it with the popular vote also. The networks called the Florida race early and thousands of voters in the panhandle which is on central time did not vote. Plus Gore lost his home state of Tennessee in a national election that was close. Gore wins his home state and he is President. Why the hell did he lose his home state? Wait until you get your socialism you azzes. We live in a nation of pettiness and jealousies with many people having wize azz mouths. We now admire mediocrity in a culture that once strove for excellence and says being above average is acceptable. We are a fat and slovenly and sick people that will wilt if tough times occur. Meanwhile you guys are passing genocide laws getting ready for the event.

They called Florida 10 minutes early and there’s no evidence Republicans got out of line. Shit, you can’t even prove many Republicans on line at 6:50pm CST even heard the news. Not to mention, many people often vote for a candidate they know will lose.

From your link:

"Regardless of which of the two proposal routes is taken, the amendment must be ratified, or approved, by three-fourths of states."

As I said above: 38 States (75%) must agree.

STATES elect Presidents, NOT PEOPLE. Read the Constitution. So yes, land mass matters.

It's even in the name: the United States, but, somehow, the Intellectuals on the Left keep missing it

The Democrats promote Amnesty which is effectively Open Borders which has helped states like California become One Party Democrat rule. That is what they want for the entire country, and promoting Illegal Aliens is the way they are trying to get it. And Lefties here, and elsewhere think that is just fine as the end justifies the means.

Democrats want to dilute the American vote on multiple fronts: letting illegals vote - which is what she means by “every vote matters”- and doing away with the institution that prevents National elections being determined by New York and Los Angeles. The Democrats don’t care about the voter in West Virginia, Ohio, Nebraska, or Montana.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

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

Because people should be the electors, not sage brush and cattle. Our most populous state has 70 X more people than our least populated state but their EC ratio is 18:1. Why should people be penalized for living in a more desirable state? The Founders are way over rated. In what other contest is the #2 finisher declared the winner?

Our most populous state has 70 X more people than our least populated state but their EC ratio is 18:1.

Well, in 1929 they capped the number of Representatives at 435.
That's why Wyoming has the minimum, one representative, while California has 53.
And, of course, every state has 2 Senators.

In what other contest is the #2 finisher declared the winner?

You're confused. The #1 finisher is the one with the most EC votes.
Just like it's always been.

Electoral College gave us Donald J Trump

Do we need any more proof it does not work?

 

[Pilot1]

We are a REPUBLIC, not a MOB RULE Democracy. That is exactly why we have the EC. We are a collection of States. The President serves at the pleasure of the STATES.
