If Boxer’s amendment were to pass, it would amend the U.S. Constitution, and “would take effect when ratified by three-fourths of states within seven years after its passage in the U.S. Congress,” a statement from Boxer’s office read
Only two (maybe three) states would benefit by removing the electoral college. Every other state would lose.
This is going nowhere.
She is about to lose it all, so she is trying to propose an outrage Democrats want as a treat the way Democrats are pushing for reparations for slavery, despite there being no slaves in America.
Hey Boxer, you useless twit, how about we Californians take a popular vote on whether your yearly income plus net worth be split amongst us?
Non starter. Would not get 3/4 of states.
Changing the electoral system will take a constitutional amendment and not a bill from a senator or congressman. Just fact.
In any case, Clinton won the state race in California. She just lost it in more places than she won it. She lost 30-20 in states. She won 3 large states to Trump’s 7 large states.
She lost in electors 228-306, I believe.
Every state not called California, New York, or Florida will oppose this measure. They would have no influence at all.
And when the next President they dont want is elected by popular vote, idiots like Boxer will discover something new. Well call it...The Electoral College and petition to get it introduced.
Cant these morons just accept that they lost?
We did.
The electoral college was brilliant innovation of our founders, insuring that small states would still get a voice in the election.
Our Constitution was written by brilliant men and if followed, would have prevented the Kenayaneisan Usurpation.
Barack Obama is NOT a natural born citizen. He told us he was born a British subject as a result of his foreign national father.
Saw that after my reply went out. Communication lag sucks ...
In truth, I'm actually surprised that BB proposed this as a Constitutional Amendment. I wasn't aware that she understood the Constitution at all.
this is good ad on why the electoral college is necessary.
Dumb woman Boxer thinks this can be changed by a Bill in Congress, even if it is signed by POTUS.
Silly B
“...that does not reflect our modern society...”
Ah and there it is. The Electoral College puts brakes on their desire to remake the U.S. in their image. It means the Constitution will continue to mean something and act as a bulwark against their attempt to seize power and crush those not in line with the New Order.
Yeah, California would love to decide all elections. Not going to happen.
California Version of This land is Your Land.”
This land is your land
This lands not my land
From your broken borders
To your Hollywood hoarders
From your polluted rivers
To your moral sinners
That land was made by you
not me.
Oh I have rambled
And followed the footsteps
From your gay hunkies
To your everywhere junkies
From your social programs
To your traffic logjams
That land was made by you
not me
As I went walking
Your potholed freeways
I saw above me
your smoggy skyways
The thing I was prayin
Was that your stayin
Because that land was made by you
not me.
Actually, she did. Kamala Harris, who is even further to the left than Boxer, was elected to replace her.
It takes 2/3 of both Houses of Congress to send an Amendment to the states. Good luck with all of that.
Just have California and New York allocate EVs according to congressional district like Maine and Nebraska do.
