Pete Buttigieg: Candidate Who Gets the Most Votes Should Be President

Hannah Knudsen 4 May 2026

The candidate who receives the most votes should be President of the United States, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said during a town hall event in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

“One thing that would make a huge difference is if we selected our president by letting the person who got the most votes actually take the office instead of the national Electoral College,” Buttigieg said during the town hall, deeming it a “really good idea” that he believes would be better for America.

“It would be a really good idea, because then any Democrat wanting to be president would have to campaign in Oklahoma, by the way, any Republican would have to campaign in Brooklyn. That would be good for our democracy,” he said.

The person who receives the most (Electoral) votes already gets elected.

If Pothole Pete wants to change that, then Amend the US Constitution.  That's what a nation of laws would do.

Democrats really hate the Constitution.

Yes, they do. That's why they tried to get out from under it in 1861.

They still believe in slavery. They just moved North and changed their focus on which groups should be made into their servants.

"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

this whacko again - he'll never become the nominee of his worthless party, the only thing "Mayor Pete" excels at is being gay and fake chest feeding. He is gross.

Yeah... makes sense to me.

We already have Amendments called "Prohibition", "Voting Rights", and "Search and Seizure".

He just wants the "D.U.Y.A." Act added to that.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
He's only saying that because they're fixing to use the 20 million illegals as voters, and then they have all those dead and imaginary voters carried on the rolls, too.

Problem for the Dems is, they are mostly concentrated in blue states and 'sanctuary' cities, and the electoral college limits that effect.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Pray for wisdom for a SCOTUS majority.
