Jul 15, 2019 — The Founding Fathers had to compromise when it came to devising a system to elect the president.

You said I am lying. Quote the lie.

That was too complicated for you? What part confused you?

/——/ Changing the EC to an odd number was the only thing clear. This part is truly messed up and confusing as hell. “Secondly, we need to expand the requirements to become President Elect from a simple majority of the electoral college (currently 270) to also include a plurality of the popular vote (more votes than anyone else on the ballot nationwide). In this day and age, the will of the people can be known well before the mid-December deadline. If there is a disagreement between the electoral college winner and the popular vote winner, the parameters of the 12 amendment kick in to decide who is the President-elect.

Lastly, the scheduling of state primaries to award delegates is mind bogglingly idiotic. Iowa or South Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada…these 3 states get to weed out a very high percentage of candidates before larger populations get to weigh in on their efficacy. What I propose is not one super Tuesday but five of them involving 9-11 states each.

On the 2nd Tuesday in January, February, March, April and May have 9-11 states go to the polls at once. Have the 2nd Tuesday in June as a stand-by in case there are states who couldn’t hold the elections on schedule due to blizzards, tropical storms, etc… Just as an example… (remember this is for the primaries)

January: ME, NH, MA, CT, RI, NY, NJ, PA, DE

February: WA, CA, OR, HI, AK, AZ, NV, ID, UT, MT, WY, NM

March: FL, GA, SC, NC, MD, VA, WVA, KY, TN, AL, MS

April: TX, AR, OK, CO, KS, NE, ND, SD, LA,

May; IL, MN, WI, MI, OH, IN, IA, MO,

States with over 10M in population are listed in bold. You spread out the votes between urban and rural, between large cities and small towns, between industrial and agrarian, between coastal (when you can) and landlocked. Candidates no longer have to jump through hoops to please a single demographic and can play to their strengths.”

Add in the PV and schedule all primaries for the 2nd Tuesday of each month Jan-May. Not exactly a brain teaser,

/——/ People can’t understand the present system. Don’t add more hoops to jump through. And the number of EC votes changes.
“Each state gets as many electors as it has members of Congress (House and Senate). Including Washington, D.C.'s three electors, there are currently 538 electors in all. Find out how many electoral votes each state gets. Each state's political parties choose their own slate of potential electors.”

Post 76.
The rules of constitutional convention were done that way to prevent whimsical ideas from taking hold. There are good reasons why the founding fathers did what they did. People clamor about popular vote, and don't even bother to understand 6th grade civics.

So where is the lie?

 

[Lisa558]

The population should have a direct say in what the outcome of an election is.

I agree the electoral college was genius and I prefer it with all of it's flaws over a straight popular vote.

However there is zero reason why the only office in the nation is decided by 270 anonymous electors vs the will of the plurality of the people.

I know you'll argue otherwise....but there is a reason why the majority/plurality rules in all of the other elections in the entire nation. I'm not even asking for a majority...just a plurality.

Yes, there is a reason. If we went to a straight national democracy in electing the president, the candidates would care only about New York, California, and Illinois - ironically, the blue states with the most illegals and crime - and focus his or her attention there, ignoring the needs and interests of the rest of the country.

We would be a nation ruled by Chicago, NY, LA, and SF - the same cities that allow violent criminals to roam the streets, fight for illegal lowlifes to remain here, and indoctrinate their students into hating the very values that made America great. Is this what you really want?

I think we need to revamp the system by which we elect Presidents.

First and foremost we need to change the number of electoral votes to an odd number. Having the possibility of a tie (269 to 269) is just stupid.

Secondly, we need to expand the requirements to become President Elect from a simple majority of the electoral college (currently 270) to also include a plurality of the popular vote (more votes than anyone else on the ballot nationwide). In this day and age, the will of the people can be known well before the mid-December deadline.

[Correll]

WTF?

Every other country in the world uses the popular vote to elect politicians to office.

What a ******* retard.

And you want to give more weight to third world voters so that this country becomes more and more a third world country.

Why?

 

[Hafar1014]

And you want to give more weight to third world voters so that this country becomes more and more a third world country.

Why?

Let the nut states like CA NY and Minn control every election?

Clearly that is the goal. These people are anti-American scum of the earth.

 

[Correll]

WTF?

You really pretending to be too retarded to understand the obvious meaning?

Immigrants from the shitty third world, who are now here, voting, with American paperwork but with shitty third world cultures and politics.

So, of course, almost exclusively voting for dems. Which is poison for this great nation and it's people.


What part of that did you not understand? Or were you just spamming shit talk, to buy time while you tried to think of... someway to sleaze out of this conversation?


You haven't called me racist yet. Standard Response One for leftards. Just a suggestion.
