The Electoral College is a relic of a bygone era, and we need to change this system," said Connecticut state Sen. Mae Flexer,

Someone should read to Mae the portion of The Constitution that outlines the Amendment process. These home grown half-a$$ed maneuvers to get around the Constitutional requirements are going to end up in a Constitutional crisis.

No, It would go to the Supreme Court and be ruled unconstitutional. Game over, they lose.

I don’t believe there is any requirement in the constitution that says how the electors are chosen.

The Constitution doesn’t dictate how any State chooses its Electors, does it ? If it did, we wouldn’t have 48 States that are “winner take all” and 2 that are “by Congressional District”.

If the SCOTUS was going to step in based on complaints by voters that they were being disenfranchised, should that have already happened ? 4 million CA like me had our votes unrepresented in the Electoral College. Millions of Dims in TX had their votes unrepresented. If SCOTUS has not done away with winner-takes-all for Electors, I don’t think we can count on them interfering with any rules a State chooses to assign its Electors.
