Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) said today that he would have introduced his legislation to abolish the Electoral College even if Hillary Clinton had won.

Rangel's bill, introduced last week as companion legislation to a similar measure sponsored by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), proposes a constitutional amendment that would have to be ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states within seven years of passage.

At the time, Rangel said "the fact that a candidate can receive more votes than the other but lose the election is fundamentally undemocratic.”

Well, yes, that's true.  Thankfully we're a republic, not a democracy.

DEtails details.  Chuck isn't caring about that.

I wonder if Chuck thinks it unfair that he can't cheat on his taxes too?   He can get the votes so he should be able to cheat the government right?

This tax-dodging liberal POS is what is wrong with American politics.
