"U.S. Voters (Overwhelmingly) Want Their Old Election System Back: I&I/TIPP Poll"

Patriots are remined that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had given ordinary voters the express constitututional power only to vote for members of the House, not federal senators or POTUS.

In fact, the states have never expressly constitutional given ordinary citizen voters the specific power to vote for president. Our power to vote for president is arguably not only an abuse of 10th Amendment state powers, giving naive voters the false impression that they actually control who the president is, but arguably gives renegade states an excuse to cheat the ballot box.

What patriots need to do is to put the Constitution's process for electoral votes in the court of public opinion to get voters up to speed with how badly the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties have trampled the presidential election process.

And remember, Trump hasn't finished draining the swamp until the judiciary is cleaned up.

That is true that the Constitution gave the Senators and Potus to the states to decide. But from the beginning, a vote was held by all states to choose electors for President...an advice to the states, in a way.

And until dumblecrats decided in 2016 that they just didn’t need to abide by the decisions of the People for their electors, the system worked fairly well. Even popular votes for Senators. I do wish it reverted back to Senators picked by the states as originally written.
