Scanlon Introduces Constitutional Amendment to Overturn Citizens United Ruling and Return Power to the People

Vote Out The Electoral College as well. EC has become voter suppression.

Let the voters decide through a special vote.........

It would be excellent use of our tax dollars.

Most people don't even understand the C.U. Ruling. It was a rare ruling where the justices went beyond what they were asked to rule on but if you support the Afroman ruling you have to support the main argument of C.U.

Also, there is a zero chance of ending the E.C.

I fervently agree to get Big Money out of politics so the politicians are forced to listen to the people they represent. I am not for abolishing the electoral college because smaller states will lose representation. Come on dumocraps, let's stick up for the little guys, right? However, a lot of the complaints of the electoral college can be rendered moot if we stop trying to create a behemoth central government and return much of the power back to the states. The power should be kept as close as possible to the people it serves. Why concentrate it in DC where they don't give a rat's ass about the rest of the country?

A terrible idea.

The electoral college skews results with the winner take all awarding, which is completely at the discretion of each state. If a state has 10 ec votes they usually award all of them to the winner of the popular vote, and you are told California or New York voted for this guy, when actually maybe less than half did. They can divide up the ec votes if they chose, which would be more accurate. That wouldn't require anything from the feds.
