The true colors of the NYT are now coming out.

I think the NYT needs a refresher course in "The Federalist Papers".

This country was specifically founded against "mob rule". It's why we are a republic and not a true democracy. Of course with that stupid redistricting, incumbents can hardly be booted out even when they die.

Our Founding Fathers were a lot smarter and had the foresight to protect this great country from the idiots at the NYT -- fed by the Billaries of the world.

Why doesn't New York just secede from the union?

Then it can use its own wiser-than-the-Founding-Fathers plan, and spare the rest of us the headache.

You can deliver mail or perform federal government services anywhere in this country without having to use detachments of soldiers to provide security. This is not true in most countries in the world and the electoral college is an important reason why our country is so peaceful compared to elsewhere.

When residents of small states have Presidential candidates come visit them to kiss their rural butts and beg for their votes it keeps these small states residents involved with national politics. If you cut these people out of the process and rule them with majority tyranny they WILL take up arms against their government. As it is they get a lot more clout from those three electoral votes than they could ever hope to get from violent resistance.

NYT knows this, and what they don't say is that when push comes to shove they want rural malcontents put down with all the terrible might of our United States Armed Forces.

Same to you NYT!

A far, far better course, a course that would be of extreme benefit to the Republic would be to abolish the New York Times.

Without the electoral college, the big East Coast and Left cities will elect the President - this can't be allowed to happen.

[Congressman Billybob]

The bigotry and stupidity of the New York Times are legendary, and raise ugly heads again. Under the Constitution, no amendment can succeed without a 2/3rd vote in the Senate, followed by a 3/4ths vote of the state legislatures. Any reporter and editor at the Times should know these details.

Do the math. Look at the number of states which have a strong interest in the Electoral College, because the one, two or three votes their populations would give them in the College, are roughly doubled to three to five votes for the Senate part of the College. Among those states, there are more than the 34 Senators to block an amendment to destroy the College. And of course there are more than the 13 states to prevent ratification of such an Amendment if it escaped the Congress.

Again, as usual, I spit on the Times for its dishonesty and bigotry and incompetence in political reporting.

ABOLISH THE NEW YORK TIMES

[Dr.Deth]

It's a ridiculous setup, which thwarts the will of the majority, distorts presidential campaigning and has the potential to produce a true constitutional crisis.

If you ever needed more proof as to the sheer ignorance of the MSM, look no further than this sentence. Although, their continual referencing of the U.S. as a 'democracy' is equally damning.

Morons. Not worth the time to explain it to them.

[Dr.Deth]

In a nutshell, the Democrat/MSM mantra:

"If you can't win, cheat.

If you can't win by cheating, change the rules."

[P.O.E.]

I bet the leaders of some countries are shocked to find we have freedom of the press. Maybe we should do away with that, too, and just make mandatory NYT subscriptions.

[Cooltouch]

The only reason why this article was written was because Bush lost the popular vote in 2000. It is my conviction, however, that Bush wouldn't have lost the popular vote if voter fraud had been eradicated. The dims are quickly corrupting the entire system. CA has been a BIG problem for years. Ditto IL. Last election showed that MO, NM, and especially FL are now areas where counts can no longer be trusted.

Best,

The founders had the correct idea when they created the Electoral College.....I say keep it exactly as it is.....BUMP

[cyncooper]

The Electoral College got a brief spate of attention in 2000, when George Bush became president even though he lost the popular vote to Al Gore by more than 500,000 votes.

I stopped reading right there as that is a flat out lie.

The fact is (sorry NY Times, but we do have brains that come fully equipped with memories) that George Bush was leading in the polls and the Al Gore camp was preparing the country for the possibility that George Bush could win the popular vote and Al Gore win the electoral college. The dems then, when they thought that possible, were busily informing us of how it all worked.

Fact: If that had happened the New York Times would never ever be calling for abandoning the electoral college.

[Pharlap]

The NYT has only supported the Constitution when it believes its agenda can be served thereby. But, when the Constitution gets in the way, then by all means just change it. This is the same NYT that adamantly opposed amending the Constitution to define marriage as being between a man and a woman. And the NYT had no problem with the Supreme Court finding a right to privacy in the Constitution, thus opening the flood gates to abortion.

[hosepipe]

Without the electoral college Al GORE would be convincing the terrorists we are not only decadent we are ALSO STUPID AS PRESIDENT...
