The number of representatives from each state is governed by Section 2 of the 14th Amendment of 1866 - that is, representatives are reduced if any adult male (citizen - for learning impaired like Alexandria) is denied the right to vote. The number of electoral votes is dependent on the number of state representatives. So the number of electoral votes a state has, is dependent on the 14th Amendment.
By arguing for elimination of the Electoral College, Comrade Ocasio-Cortez appears to be arguing for eliminating the 14th Amendment, and the Constitution which upholds the 14th. Or, she is voicing a plan to quash wytpepo vote if wytpepo ever became a minority in the USA by eliminating an Amendment that forever prevents voter discrimination.
I'll see your Collefe, and raise you a Covfefe.
eliminate Alexandria
The most polluted cities in the world are in Communist
/ Socialist countries.

So CIA shill Ken Dilanian is against the electoral college now--is he following John Brennan's talking points on behalf of Hillary Clinton, who also wants to abolish the electoral college?
Democracy results in crazy people in charge.
A representative Republic.
She should go live in a democracy?
Hey Alexandria,
We do NOT want a democracy. We do not have a democracy.
A democracy is two wolves and one lamb deciding what to eat for lunch.
We want a Federal Republic with checks and balances.
You want every national election to be decided by big blue cites.
WE DO NOT WANT WHAT YOU ARE SELLING.
Che so Cwazzah!
The drumbeat of democracy. One of the all time great socialist tools.
Read the constitution. It’s all in there.
People forget that the Senate does not represent “the people.” They represent the “states.” There IS a distinction.
It’s not supposed to be proportionate. These people are so stupid.
Are you always this ignorant or did you have to study for it??
You state the case well, if the reader just looks past your ignorance. Big City life has been reduced to cats, bugs and rats. This is Democracy, called for by Communist Cortez.
The Republic properly represents all life, evens bears, tigers, horses and cows.
The Democracy kills all except short diminished dwellers in their closet high rise apartment. Cortez wants all to live in closets with bugs and rats.
Okay now, back to your prominant ignorance.
I have an article written by David Kopel back in 2000 when then Senator Elect Hillary Clinton publicly called for the abolition of the Electoral College (in the wake of Algore’s defeat). Kopel sums it all up with this: “If you want to live in a country where it’s against the law to protect your family from a violent home invader, and where you get ‘free’ health care of lower quality than what a pet receives in the United States (referencing the Canadian example in his article), and if you think the American Founders were fools for wanting to prevent the concentration of political power, then by all means try to get rid of the Electoral College”.
Newsflash to Occasional Cortex: We have a Republic, and our Republic needs the EC. If you want a full democracy, move to another country.
Who?
The computer will know every registered voter, once your vote is counted no more votes! =)
Looks like they are now renaming our Constitutional Republic to “Democratic Republic”...someone needs to straighten her out in a public forum....
