Democrats Win Enough Seats Nationwide to End Electoral College

[Dawg]

So, Donnie made America Great Again since dems are saying how Great it is they won the Congress and Senate..................NO

Who else could have pulled that off

 

[Halo]

You are miles off topic....How in hell do EMPs enter into a conversation of the Electoral College?

I'm beginning to think you're going senile.

 

[EatTheRich]

I swear I posted to this thread about the college being in the constitution and there being a legal way to amend it and that if it was done illegally then a state could become a nation state given the contract was broken by the U.S. government.

So now that assertion of truth was deleted? Dems have no hope in legally nullifying the electoral college. All you can do is use state legislatures to allot electoral college votes proportionally which was the original intent all along. ha ha

The states can choose to make the Electoral College a pro forma ratification of the popular vote election by choosing to select electors on that basis.

 

[EatTheRich]

Well the "design or intent" was never to facilitate the efforts of those who want to vote themselves into other people's pocketbooks, that's for damn sure.

Hence the need for a common-sense alteration of the original design.

 

[EatTheRich]

Because non-binary implies a sex. You think God has a sex?

No, the use of "non-binary" is for the easily manipulated and completely ridiculous in reference to something that is beyond or without sex.

“Non-binary” refers to gender and can apply to people of any biological sex (or none). Not having a gender makes one agender, which is a species of non-binary.

 

[EatTheRich]

Always an excuse to undermine the constitution. And you claim love of country.

I love the country, not the government. I think defects in the current constitution should be remedied to make the country a better place.

Fascism is inherently left wing, always has been, always will be. I know because you're inherently left wing and you support nearly all facets of fascism.

Again, you're wrong, and the proof is in the left's constant complaints about the electoral college.
fascists prefer chaos, it's easier to engineer a society when people are yearning for structure.

I do? Which ones? Crushing the left, hating democracy, social conservatism, private property?

How does democratic elections equate to chaos?

Sure, distribute the college vote proportionally to the popular vote of the state. I've got no problem with that. Finally, registered independents will have their voices heard.

We also need congressional district maps to reflect the voter registration (get rid of gerrymandering for the most part). A state with 25% registered Reps should potentially get 25% of the congressmen voted into office from that state. And correspondingly for Dems. Taxation w/o representation rightly elicits violence when long time aggrieved. California REPs should revolt against their taxation.

48 states and Washington, D.C. use a winner-take-all system for the Electoral College. [1]

• Winner-Take-All States and D.C.: 48 states and Washington, D.C. award all of their electoral votes to the candidate who wins the statewide (or district for D.C.) popular vote. [1]
• • Exceptions: Maine and Nebraska are the only two states that do not use a strict winner-take-all system. Instead, they allocate two electoral votes to the statewide popular vote winner and one electoral vote to the winner of each individual congressional district. [1, 2]

Bizarre Idea....so all districts would be divided into D or R? Are you thinking that a district may be 100% one party?

Do away with the EC and all votes count.

you ignore your own definition of fascism.
"Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition"

This describes Trump perfectly.

Your ability to always get everything completely wrong is remarkable. So consistent.

Or, as being discussed, each state could award all their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner.

 

[Dawg]

dems want to ensure many don't bother voting

 

[Halo]

No, that's clearly unconstitutional.

 

[EatTheRich]

No, that's clearly unconstitutional.

It’s clearly constitutional. States have plenary power to allocate their electoral votes as they see fit.

Tell that to the plurality who will come to rip your throat out for stealing their vote.

How does that shit idea even work. Oh, Florida closed. It went Republican so close all the Cali counting down and just award the votes to Republicans? Or do we wait for all the counts to come in and then we add all the votes up across the board and then give it to the Dems?

Nah, another serious unconstitutional line in the sand leading to civil war and unconstitutional.

You don’t know how to add up all the votes and determine who got the most?

[Unwelcome language removed] you're like middleview, you don't read a post past one or two top sentences.

Read the constitution. Clearly you don't know what it says.
