Kill the Electoral College?

Senate Democrats Propose Constitutional Amendment to Abolish Electoral College

Republicans Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Trump have defended the Electoral College as empowering smaller states.

The Founders knew that no significant decisions should be decided by popular vote. They also entered into a compromise between the "big" states and the "little" states, which created the Senate and the Electoral college. Is that compromise now obsolete?

Even though the D's LOST the popular vote this time, they believe that they have imported enough government-dependent third world wretches, and can get them naturalized in due course, so that they would never lose another popular vote in at least two generations.

I believe it needs to be abolished. Outside a few elections, the popular vote and the College voted for same person.

Parroting What You Think Is an Owl of Wisdom

Just as in an EC system, a plurality doesn't decide, so the election goes to the House of Representatives. Neither Gore nor Hillary won a majority, so Bush and Trump would've won anyway.

This idea that Hillary won the popular vote is a factoid: something that is not true (the suffix -oid means resemble, as in android) but its constant treatment as a fact has the irrational effect as if it were true.

(This is not the dumbed-down media's lazy and unprofessional definition of "factoid." In fact, its misuse by them, in addition to all their other grammatical monstrosities, is itself a factoid, because listeners copy their StupidSpeak as if it were straight out of Webster.)
