Meet the Dems who want to abolish the Electoral College
By Al Weaver (@alweaver22) • 12/21/16 11:01 PM


A growing number of Democrats are interested in changing or even completely eliminating the Electoral College, after President-elect Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton, but won a majority of the electoral votes that were up for grabs.

Democrats in both the House and Senate have introduced legislation aimed at building pressure to scrap the centuries-old system, and replace it with a simple popular vote. Under the change, Clinton would have become the 45th president of the United States, since she won about 3 million more votes than Trump.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., proposed a resolution to amend the Constitution to end the Electoral College, and dozens of House Democrats are supporting three separate House resolutions that would do the same thing. Some Democrats have indicated support for the idea, even if they haven't yet joined the legislation.

The "Constitutional Law Professor" has been absolutely silent on the topic. That speaks volumes to me.

ETA: Tie abolishment of the EC with "Extreme" Voter ID. Can't have one without the other: picture ID, no early voting, no absentee, ballots in English only.

That oughta kill it.
