And the NPV will allow the states to reflect accurately the majority of the countryGet this through your collective heads Liberals:The electoral college--in it's current form--isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
That doesn't mean it shouldn't. We need the Electoral College; without it the large cities on the coasts will decide the elections using the National Popular Vote format where the person with the plurality becomes President.
One thing that proponents of the NPV never address is this: What happens if we have 3 viable candidates...or 5 viable candidates...that get 20% of the vote each? You really want a President who gets 29% of the vote?
So I think the winning position is to keep the EC in it's current form but add in the stipulation that the President Elect get a plurality of the Popular Vote as well. If both the threshold of the EC majority of 270 AND the plurality of the popular vote are not met, the remedies we have in place currently where the Congress gets involved are activated.
I'll be happy to say this again if Biden is declared the winner of the EC--that we need to change the system that elected the person for whom I am voting. Its really not a political thing with me. Its more of a right and wrong thing. The ordinary voters should have a direct say in who becomes President and the notion of the majority (or at least the plurality) deciding should be addressed.
The president IS NOT ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE.
THE PRESIDENT IS CHOSEN BY THE STATES
Wrong on all counts. You know, mindlessly saying the same thing over and over doesn't make it real.
