Presidential candidate and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) made another call to abolish the Electoral College in a tweet Friday afternoon to his 9.4 million Twitter followers.
Sanders took to Twitter Friday afternoon and wrote “Abolish the Electoral College” in response to an NBC News analysis that theorized that President Trump could win the presidential election in 2020 and lose the popular vote by five million

Vermonters, How About it?
Then we can become the Ununited States, eh Bernie?
it’s kind of embarrassing Trump called the EC a disaster only a few years ago. Thank God for it. The founding fathers were just brilliant about almost everything. If only they had put stronger checks on the Judiciary.
We’ll call it “The Socialist Empire of America”. And we’ll need a socialist emperor, of course.
Just hope Bernie is so pissed he goes 3rd party after the DNC screws him this time...
Got a much better idea, Bernie.
Let’s outlaw and abolish socialism and communism, and remove people who hate the country and pose an obvious threat to the rest of us.
Just sayin’....
It should be the majority of counties, the state goes to the winner.
How many times have Chicago, NYC, and LA had their states go to the Dem, when the rest of the state is red?
sorry, Bernie, but we came too close to getting stuck with HilLIARy in our White House, or didn’t you notice?
it was only the Electoral College that saved us from that terrible fate
IIRC, Hillary only won about 16% of the counties in the country
NO!
You need two-thirds of the states to change the constitution.
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming all said no.
That’s more than HALF. The amendment fails.
Now, they can simply ignore the Electoral College (like they ignore huge swaths of the Constitution already) through the stupid winner takes all alliance, but I predict that will lose to a court challenge.
The ultimate goal is to erase all state lines so that small states wont have a say in the leftists plan to centralize power in a federal governance.
Erasing state lines and diluting state’s power would come with a very bloody revolution for which the Marxists would pay dearly.
So do it Bernie!
Start petitions in all states to draw up a new Amendment to the Constitution.
Get 3/4 of the states to approve it within the allotef time frame. Then gin up 2/3 support in Congress to pass the Amendment.
Untill then ... STFU!!!!!!
Given that the EC is comprised of the number of House members (435) plus the number of Senators (100) plus three for DC, it would seem best to allow EC votes to be cast as:
Popular vote in the HOUSE DISTRICT casts the vote allocated to that district.
Popular vote in the State casts the two votes allocated to state.
Three in DC cast for the winner of the popular vote in DC.
Just sayin’
With technology being what it is we may not need it.
The Floriduh 2000 recount fiasco was so much fun, let’s have a nationwide recount every four years!
ESAD Bernie. You’re almost there, idiot.
Abolish Burlington College...
‘It should be the majority of counties, the state goes to the winner.’
not counties, congressional districts, ala ME and NE...
I think it would be better to abolish letting foreign nationals vote in our elections. They don’t pay U.S. income tax, they shouldn’t be voting.
