Specious argument of course.

The Constitution clearly sets out two different methods to amend the Constitution. This is not one of them.

If they want to do it there is a process outlined in the Constitution. Pass an amendment and do it.

Of course they probably can’t, so this is all about underhanded and sneaky back-door methods of getting their way.

exactly. When the Dummcraps win, they say jack sh*t. Only when they lose do they get their panties in a twist.

Without the electoral college, voter fraud anywhere is voter fraud everywhere.

It means that all those illegal votes in California alone can wipe out the influence of all the 3 EC vote states combined.

More virtue-signaling.

CT will never award its electoral votes to a Republican popular vote winner.

And it will never happen because Red States aren’t signing onto the National Popular Vote Compact.

Which also needs Congressional approval before it could take effect.

Regardless, the Electoral College and it’s function is specifically spelled out in the Constitution. Eliminating it requires a constitutional amendment. That requires 38 states to ratify the change.

“Without the electoral college, voter fraud anywhere is voter fraud everywhere.”

and hence, their reason for doing this vile thing. If the electoral college is moot, then 3 major cities (L.A., NYC and Chicago) will ALWAYS pick the next president due to suspicious voters.

Republicans should advance a bill that states, if a state votes to “secede” from the electoral college, they get no EC votes.

As (hopefully) the voter rolls are cleaned up, the fallback option for commies is the elimination of the Electoral College.

This past presidential election educated me and others WHY our FF included this in the formation of our Republic.

With increasing numbers of urban voters, brainwashed youth voters, etc., the Electoral College is perhaps our last safeguard.

Gee, let me think. Then the Democrats will only have to win California, Washington, Oregon, New York and a hand full of other traditionally Democrat states to rule the country forever. Exactly why the Founding Fathers decided on the Electoral College.

“There’s no other office in this country, other than the President of the United States, where the person who gets the most votes doesn’t win that office,” said State Senator Mae Flexer (D) with the Government Administration and Elections Committee. “It’s just not right and it’s time for that to change.”

Mae, if I may call you Mae; you are a blithering s**thead of sloppy proportions. What is not right is that you believe you have an opinion and an insight that anyone else should listen to.

the Electoral College is an absolute necessity to prevent dictators. Just imagine what a mess we would have at this point if Hil Liar y had won. My god, it buggers my imagineation!
We are so fortunate to live in the United States of America and have a well articulated Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Lordy, just imagine the black boots thumping through our cities and towns!!1

It's only an outdated relic of the past when they lose. It's just fine and there is nothing wrong, them winning (in their mids) is just the natural order of things.
