| Get Rid Of The Electoral College? It Would Lead To The Break-Up Of America, Or Worse |
| 2019-02-04 |
| [Investor's Bus Daily] Electoral College: The first acts of a new Congress usually hold great significance. They set a tenor, a tone, for what is to come. If so, Americans should be very worried about the new Democrat-led Congress. One of the first acts of business last Thursday, mere hours after the new Congress was sworn in, came from Tennessee Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen, as reported by The Daily Caller. His big idea: amend the Constitution to abolish the Electoral College. Under Article II of the Constitution, both the president and vice president are decided by a group of electors chosen by a method determined by the individual states' legislators. Cohen's proposed amendment reads: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector." |

| #12 You want Texas to secede? This is how you do it. Probably take Oklahoma and other states with it. |

| #11 It is cute that Colorado thinks it would have a chair at the table in a nationwide popular vote system. Southern California, Pennsylvania and northeast of, maybe Great Lakes coastline, and that is all a candidate needs. That is where all those government dollars, vote fraud, and attention will go. |

| #8 Ah, yes. Well, IMO, the problem with POTUS position is that it's actually two jobs: Titular head of state (like British queen) and chief executive. |

| #4 Being elected by the Electoral College may not reflect the popular vote but it is not a cake walk either. Took 63 million votes for Trump to win it. |

| #2 Get rid of the electoral college? A very bad idea. POTUS would always be elected by a handful of large Dem States. The rest of the voters would be disenfranchised. As the Dems go farther left, POTUS would be elected by a handful of States with mostly crazy voters. Just think, if only the popular vote mattered (and if you included all the stolen votes in the count), Hillary would have been elected last time. |

| #1 Powerful, Soviet style central government (Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Baltimore) is actually the dem goal. Our own 'Airstrip One', and the global utopia of Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia cannot be realized under the current construct. |
