Three Democratic senators have introduced a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College, claiming it will “restore Democracy.”
Three Democratic senators unveiled a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College system Monday.
Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii,) Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Peter Welch (D-Vt.), three leading progressive Senate voices, say it’s time to “restore democracy” by allowing for the direct election of presidents through the popular vote alone.
“In an election, the person who gets the most votes should win. It’s that simple,” Schatz said. “No one’s vote should count for more based on where they live. The Electoral College is outdated and it’s undemocratic. It’s time to end it.”
It is not that simple.
Without the Electoral College, smaller states never have a vote. Only the coastal Democrat states with large populations will win every presidential election.
This is what Democrats want – a permanent electoral majority. They constantly attack the Constitution.
This won’t go anywhere right now, but they will keep pounding us with it until people begin to think it’s a good idea.

The Electoral College just makes it easier for them to sway the Vote on the Two Party Dictatorship.

Not to be flippant, but the Left has ignored large parts of our Constitution for decades. That document is sacred to our freedom, which is why the Marxists want it gone.
But, the USA is not a democracy. States work more like a democracy, but the united states are not a democracy. The fed is trying to usurp the authority of the states.
It’s about a “republic” vs a “democracy.”
Each state is a democracy, more or less. States unite to form a republic.
Presidents are elected directly, by the states.
Trump got more people votes this time by a lot. No one “wins” the popular vote, that is more leftist rhetoric. There is no win associated with the popular vote. It would be like saying the football team with the most yards gained is the winner.
Clever analogy.
Democrat platform: If you can’t win the game, just change the rules.
Evidence: the 2020 steal!!!
Why do you need an electoral vote?
Can`t you count, America?
