Don't worry...there is not an easy way to get rid of it (thankfully):


The Supreme Court may have just done that with a 9-0 decision that gives states the right to compel electors to vote for the candidate who wins the state's popular vote.

Looks like us folks in NYC are going to rule the rest of you after all.

She backed Trump in 16 and
when he didn't follow every
piece of her advice after he
took office, like any woman,
she deserted him.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Nobody listens to the blatherings
of that old hag anymore. She lost
touch with reality about a year into
Trump's term. She makes no sense
most of the time now.
Totally agree. She was good back in the day, but she's gone totally off the rails now

I do not buy that on the social issues thing. Gay marriage was never a huge winner with voters. That is why they had to get SCOTUS to do the dirty work for them. People do not want boys and men in the ladies room or males "identifying" as and competing in female sports. They do not want the abortion culture.

The social issues found their home in the Democrat Party and the party moved further and further left. Democrat candidates pre-Obama would hide their real views, because they knew they would not come near getting elected if they said what they really want.

The "national popular vote mess" you claim is largely just because of the huge margins the Democrats have in CA and a few other places. And this is what the EC was made to prevent, one large place controlling the vote. In the 1700s it was NYC/PHI. Today it is CA.

She reached her peak in the 2000s but since slipped off the A list.

I missed my chance to talk to her when she took a loan at the bank I worked at. Oh well.

That is how it already goes, for the most part...win the state, get the electoral votes.

Some people violate that policy; that is why they needed to rule on the issue.

The way it would impact the EC's effectiveness is if most states required their electors to vote for the winner of the popular vote of the whole country. Then a candidate could win states yet get no electoral votes.

If they ever get that end run around the constitution passed they will end it the first time a GOP candidate wins the popular and the blue states have to vote for him. Then all of the sudden they will care about the constitution.

A GOP candidate winning the popular vote?

Don’t think we have to worry about that anytime soon...
