Electoral College

  • Thanks jbluhm86. It's odd to see a good post on this board. This approach makes the most sense to me. I think Maine already does this. I would like to see the Ranked voting as well. It the only way we can get away from this two-party system. People would start voting for individuals instead for/against parties.

  • I agree completely jbluhm. I don't like the winner take all system currently in place.

    Just my $0.02 on the matter...

    That idea does have a lot of merit - but I don't agree, offhand. Proportional electoral votes applied, means the election results in any state can be affected by a deliberate mass illegal migration that we see today. Voter fraud would far more easily be rewarded. As it is, voter fraud doesn't gain the ...dems... anything unless there was a monumental amount of voter fraud.

    Otherwise, a little voter fraud could result in a little reward of reps. I think. Just my two cents.

    I don't see any republicans wanting to change our Constitution. It's the left.

    The left wants to change the makeup of the U.S. Supreme Court to benefit them after they change it when they have a socialist president. The dems want to get rid of the 2nd Amendment, and have little use for the 1st Amendment, unless it's THEM that demand it.

    Obamao commie criticized our Constution. Libs all over get mad because it doesn't suit their demands.

    Too freaking bad, says I.

    The left would have there be no freedom of speech - unless they dictate it. That isn't freedom of speech - that's very much like british colonial tyranny.

    not at all. Ask yourself who is it that wants to repeal the Second Amendment?

    1) I didn't start this thread, I must be living in your head rent free again.

    2) Trump will get over it in about 6 more years.

    Well it's hard to tell you guys apart, repeating the same talking points. 

    If is doesn't really matter, why both posting in a thread about it?

    If these threads get your panties all knotted up then why are you here?

  • How predictable that we suddenly are hearing gibberish from the left about getting rid of the EC, allowing 16yr. olds to vote, and resurrecting the idea of reparations.

    All because the left's attempt to render Trumps election invalid has failed miserably.  "Russian Collusion" HAHAHAHA!

    Whatever it takes to prevent the election of another Republican.

    The Electoral College is a modern-day scheme by the Republicans to steal elections? Is that your point here? On the other hand gerrymandering has always been constitutional and practiced by whoever happens to be in power correct?

    Neither of those are correct but that's ok. Nothing new is being learned on this board.

  • I suppose members of One party can be rightfully outraged by the other party if there are actual dirty tricks going on that cost him votes or make their position of power less secure, but the Electoral College is a perfectly reasonable part of our election system. Nothing sneaky about it. Just the Chuck and Nancy and Hillary and Cleve and Woody were unsuccessful this past election.

    Dirty tricks is an entirely separate issue.

    Exactly.

    And the talk of 16yr olds being allowed to vote...and reparations to encourage more blacks to vote.

    Unfortunately that's politics, but this call to make null and void the EC solely because of their butthurt over Donald Trump being president is way over the top.

    I'm not aware of Reps so desperate to suit their current needs that they've blathered about changing the Constitution.
