Why We Need the Electoral College (Rush Limbaugh)

RUSH: They weren’t taught about the Founding Fathers. They weren’t taught about the concept of federalism. You
can’t understand the Electoral College unless you know what federalism is, and federalism is one of these terms that, in many cases, means the exact opposite of the word as it’s currently applied. The word “federalism” you might think that means federalism trumps everything; federalism means federal domination. It does not mean that. It means the exact opposite, in fact. It means the states are sovereign and the federal government cannot tell ’em what to do in so many different ways. But I...

Is the Electoral College 'un-American?'
|

Christian Post ^
| 05/27/2024 | Jerry Newcombe
Last week, Joy Behar of “The View” on ABC called the Electoral College “un-American.”Oh my. Perhaps
we could call her an “Electoral College dropout”?The Constitution says that “We the people” are in charge of our country, but we act through our elected representatives. The provision for the Electoral College can be found in the Constitution in Article II, Section 1, Clause 2. It’s in America’s foundational document — despite Joy Behar’s claim that it’s “un-American.” The gist of it is that we don’t directly elect the president, but we do vote for those who do so. The Constitution provides a...

Here we go… House Democrats on Wednesday night voted unanimously to give illegal aliens – including Joe Biden’s 11 million illegal border crossers – representation in Congress and the Electoral College. Democrats continue to put Americans and American workers in line behind alien invaders. The
House vote was 206 to 202 with 22 representatives 11 Democrats and 11 Republicans abstaining from the vote. Steven Miller reported: “House Dems just voted UNANIMOUSLY to give illegals representation in Congress AND the Electoral College.

The End of the Electoral College Is Finally in Sight | Opinion

Earlier this week, Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) decided not to veto an obscure law called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPV), which calls for the state's 4 Electoral College votes to be awarded to the presidential candidate who gets the most votes nationally regardless of the outcome in the state.
The law doesn't go into effect, however, until states totaling 270 electoral votes join the compact. That's the number of Electoral College votes required to win the presidency. Once dismissed as an unworkable, almost farcical fantasy, the NPV just tallied its 209th electoral vote with Maine, and now...

Maine moves to join Democratic-led pact to elect president by popular vote instead of Electoral College
|

Washington Examiner ^
| April 3, 2024 | Misty Severi
A new Maine bill was passed by the state legislature on Wednesday that would tie Maine’s Electoral College votes for president to the country’s popular vote. The
bill narrowly passed the state’s lower chamber in a 73-72 vote. It was then approved by the state Senate, and it now heads to the desk of Gov. Janet Mills (D-ME), who has not indicated whether she will sign the legislation. If she does, the state would join a national movement where each state in the agreement would assign their Electoral College votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote. “The...

Elon Musk: Democrats are rigging the electoral college through apportionment
|
| |
Twitter/X ^
| March 8 | @elonmusk
@elonmusk Most Americans do not know that the US census currently counts, for purposes of voting power, all people in a district, regardless of citizenship! Senate
Democrats just voted unanimously to defeat an amendment that would have stopped counting illegals for congressional seat apportionment and electoral college (presidential) votes. Since illegals are mostly in Democrat states, both the House and the Presidential vote are shifted ~5% to the left, which is enough to change the entire balance of power! This is a major reason why the Biden administration is ushering in record levels of illegals and doing so few deportations.

Democrats don’t care about public safety. They
only care about securing more Electoral College votes and amassing power.At noon on Jan. 20, 2021, President Biden took the oath of office. What do you think he did in his first 12 hours? He signed an executive order titled “Executive Order on Ensuring a Lawful and Accurate Enumeration and Apportionment Pursuant to the Decennial Census.” That is government speak for directing the Census Bureau to count all illegal aliens when the census is taken.Every 10 years, when the census is conducted, the population numbers are used to redraw congressional district lines so...

CASSIDY, HAGERTY, COLLEAGUES INTRODUCE LEGISLATION TO END COUNTING OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN DETERMINING ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES AND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT APPORTIONMENT

| Jan 25, 2024
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), and his Republican colleagues introduced the Equal Representation Act, legislation to ensure that only legal citizens are factored into the count for Congressional districts and the Electoral College map that determines presidential elections. The
current method of counting illegal immigrants for purposes of representation serves as a perverse incentive for open borders to boost the relative political power of the states and voters that court it. The legislation comes after video revealed a Democrat Congresswoman openly calling for more illegal immigration to her New York congressional district because she...

The Maine Democrat who moved to boot former President Donald Trump from the state’s Republican primary ballot visited the White House twice in the past year — meeting President Joe Biden during one jaunt — and reportedly once referred to the Electoral College as a “relic of white supremacy.” Secretary
of State Shenna Bellows visited the White House in March and again in June, visitor logs show. On March 22, she attended a Women’s History Month event and took a photo with a smiling Biden, putting his left hand and on her shoulder and clutching one of her hands with...

two separate occasions this year — once in March and another time in June — Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, was invited to the White House, according to White House visitor logs. Bellows' first trip came after she was invited to attend a Women’s History Month event held on March 22 at...

By 2030, California’s population loss will be Florida’s gain in Congressional seats, electoral college votes

California is projected to lose four congressional seats after the 2030 Census, with Texas positioned to gain four and Florida to gain three, says the American Redistricting Project based on this week’s new Census data. According
to Thad Kousser, an expert in California and national politics and a professor of political science at UC San Diego, a reduction in California’s congressional delegation could have mixed effects. The contrast between California and Florida, which are each governed by respective Democratic and Republican trifectas — is not only evident in projected apportionment, but in the recent national debate and ongoing sparring between...

Survey: Donald Trump Wins Electoral College Versus Biden, Who Smokes DeSantis

Former President Donald Trump would win the electoral college over President Joe Biden, but Biden would trounce Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), according to an analysis from Stack Data Strategy among 15,205 registered voters nationwide. The
in-depth survey, conducted from October 13 to November 3 and released in Politico on Monday, found that Trump would garner 292 electoral votes and win back the White House in a hypothetical general election matchup with Biden, who would secure 246 electoral votes. However, Biden would narrowly win the popular vote, 49 percent to 48 percent: SHOCK POLL: “According to new research from Stack Data...

WASHINGTON — A top House Republican’s little-known past job working with Democrats to change US elections and choose presidents by popular vote threatens to upend his bid to rise in the GOP ranks, The Post has learned. The
three-way House Republican whip race between Reps. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Jim Banks (R-Ind.) and Drew Ferguson (R-Ga.) is expected to be the only contested GOP leadership vote and will be settled by secret ballot about a week after the Nov. 8 midterm elections, which Republicans are favored to win. Emmer, who is regarded as the most moderate option, is overseeing House GOP...

House Republicans voted down Jim Jordan, a member from Ohio, as a candidate for the House Speaker position. The
secret ballot concluded with 112 votes against Jordan and 86 in his favor. This ballot was cast after the House of Representatives lacked a Speaker for over two weeks, following a motion by Matt Gaetz to vacate the chair. Kevin McCarthy had also been removed from the position earlier in the month by a 216-210 vote. The eight Republicans that voted against McCarthy included Biggs, Buck, Burchett, Crane, Gaetz, Good, Mace, and Rosendale. After the recent ballot, Kevin McCarthy voiced his...

Worried about election fraud? Protect the Electoral College.

The Hill ^
| 09/02/2023 | BY GEORGY EGOROV AND KONSTANTIN SONIN, OPINION
The Electoral College has successfully protected the integrity of U.S. presidential elections for more than two centuries, a record unmatched around the world. Yet
the calls for getting rid of the Electoral College and switching to the popular vote have only grown louder over time. Since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in 1787, there have been more than 700 congressional proposals aimed at reforming or repealing the Electoral College. Ironically, the system’s remarkable effectiveness might be precisely what makes it such an inviting target for criticism: the Electoral College has made election fraud so difficult to contemplate that it...

Di Leo: The Dishonest and Destructive Assault on the Electoral College

Illinois Review ^
| August 22, AD 2023 | John F Di Leo
A very long time ago, back in 1787, in fact, a group of patriots worked very hard to design a workable government – for a new country that was committed to individual liberty. The
Constitutional Convention, held in Philadelphia that hot summer, struggled for months and finally hammered out a brilliant compromise plan for a government of “shared sovereignty,” in which the national government, and all the individual states, and all individual citizens would each be “sovereign,” depending on the issue. For all intents and purposes, for the first time on earth, a government was designed from scratch in which...

WASHINGTON — Traumatized by the results of 2000 and 2016, when Republicans George W. Bush and Donald Trump won the presidency despite getting fewer votes than their Democratic opponents, many on the left and center-left have developed a deep aversion to the state-by-state counting of electoral votes, regarding it as both anti-democratic
and anti-Democratic. A Gallup poll taken in 2020, for example, found that roughly 9 in 10 Democrats favored abolishing the electoral college and choosing the president solely on the basis of who gets support from the most voters. Just 2 in 10 Republicans agreed. Responding to that sentiment,...
