Elizabeth Warren wants to abolish the Electoral College

Presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren on Monday night called for abolishing the Electoral College.

The Massachusetts Democrat said during a town hall on CNN that she would back a plan to scrap the process and move the country to a national popular vote.

“My view is that every vote matters,” Warren said to applause. “And the way we can make that happen is that we can have national voting and that means get rid of the Electoral College — and every vote counts.”

The electoral process, she said, effectively disenfranchises voters in states dominated by one party.

“Come a general election, presidential candidates don’t come to places like Mississippi, they also don’t come to places like California or Massachusetts, because we’re not the battleground states,” Warren said.

Fellow Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg has also said he wants to scrap the Electoral College.

And if the Progressives get their way the ONLY places candidates will go is places like New York...California and Massachusetts because they are deep blue Liberal hell holes.


Progressives don't want to have to go to the South or any of the "flyover country" they just want to impose their will on the rest of us.  And the only thing stopping them is the EC.

Exactly. And it would exacerbate the nation's already-broad cultural and political divisions

I think it would do more.
It would become a potential "Dred Scott" moment that precipitates the breakup of the country.

So, Lieawatha, go on your warpath about the EC.
Because ... a war... you may just end up with.

Yep! The thought that a few counties would run the country, especially when they have no more concept of what living here is like (versus living there), would be the last straw.
It's bad enough on a State Level, where the largest towns set policy for the rest of the state.

I doubt they would get a clue, but the divide  (physical and otherwise) between the Colonies and the Crown was a shallower and more narrow gulf, only an ocean of separation. At least the English Colonies and the Crown shared a somewhat common heritage and language.

Compare life in Beach, ND versus NYC or L.A., and they are worlds apart.

[LMAO]

 I have heard people who are upset about the election say we should just go to a national popular vote. When asked do they know the process that that would involve, they just think it’ll pass like a simple bill in Congress.



Elizabeth Warren is playing to the ignorant.

Maybe the President knows that we are not, never were, and pray God, never will be a Democracy!

The Dems either want to win elections or change the rules, whether its abolishing the Electoral College, packing the Courts or facilitating voter fraud.

“Come a general election, presidential candidates don’t come to places like Mississippi, they also don’t come to places like California or Massachusetts, because we’re not the battleground states,” Warren said.

Call me cynical, but somehow I doubt that she's nearly as concerned with Mississippi as she is with California and Massachusetts.  (As evidenced by the fact that her "solution" would completely ice out Mississippi while giving huge weight to the East/West coasts.)
