Will there be any Electoral College hanky-panky in the 2020 election?

[Lakhota]

I've been hearing rumors. Have you heard anything?

There could be few better testaments to the lunacy of our electoral system than the fact that, on Wednesday, the Supreme Court, made up of the most august judges in the land, spent time considering whether one random guy somewhere should be able to decide who the next president is.

But that’s just what happened. And even if the judges take what might be the most practical course in this case — which concerns the question of “faithless electors” — it’s a good reminder that, because our system is so uniquely undemocratic, we could be heading for yet another election in which the person who gets the most votes is not the one who wins.
And that’s not even the most terrifying prospect.

This Supreme Court case asks whether, having been sent to the electoral college on the presumption they’d cast their votes for a particular candidate, electors are allowed under the Constitution to change their minds and act as free agents.

The electoral college is a ticking time bomb for November

What "stupid shit" are Democrats trying to pull? We're not the ones engaged in voter suppression and trying to short-circuit the 2020 census.

I heard Ukraine was getting involved.

In 2000, Al Gore's hanky was oozing with panky.

No reason to expect anything different now.

Holy horse crap.. You ASKING electoral college abuse? You ever hear of the 14 largely BLUE states that signed a pact DEMANDING their electors IGNORE the will of their residents' votes and cast their votes for the Popular vote winner??

Seriously -- you this clueless ALL the time? This is gonna backfire on your asses like most of your schemes.. If Trump WINS the popular vote -- you'll see trainloads of lawyers running to court to REMOVE the legislation they all passed.. Otherwise NY. Cali.Illinois and 11 other Blue states would turn ALL RED on the official electoral college results..

How'd you miss this chief???

If there is, what makes you think the Republicans will somehow be involved?

Or do you not think that?

Maybe you should provide proof that republicans want to suppress legal voters from voting

This bullshit. Not going to happen. And if you tried it would amount to sedition which would result in very serious consequences.



Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Amid a national movement to bypass the Electoral College in electing future U.S. presidents -- affirming instead the winner of the nationwide popular vote -- the state of Colorado is pushing the coalition closer to the finish line by placing a voter referendum on the ballot next year.

Colorado's Elections Division said a state Senate bill, 19-042, has qualified the referendum for the 2020 ballot. In 14 months, Colorado voters will decide whether to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact -- a movement supported by 15 states and Washington, D.C., and 196 electoral votes. If it adds states with 74 more, thereby achieving the 270-vote win threshold, the compact will enter legal force -- and the Electoral College will effectively be superseded.

The Electoral College is a dinosaur. Popular vote reflects the real will of the people. People count - not acreage. BTW, what is wrong with BLUE states pushing for their electors to cast their votes for the Popular vote winner?

You're right. I saw him hanging around one of the voting machines today.

Then WhyTF you worried about it? It aint going anywhere.. It's MORE democratic than the Senate. You revolutionaries would have to burn the SENATE off of the Constitution first..

The electoral college is THOUSANDS of times MORE democratic than your average DNC "Super Delegate"...

Presidents can also change their mind on made campaign promises.

Pretty funny considering how bad you'd cry when the far left goes to far and the right wins the popular vote. See, the problem with the left is they don't think it could ever go against them.

You do realize that some states have more people, right? Am I going to have to explain to you the purpose of the electoral college?

Why are you always so hostile and usually on the wrong side of most issues? Do you honestly believe the Electoral College is how presidential elections should be decided and that electors should be able to just ignore the popular vote in their state?
