Hillary Clinton says the Electoral College 'needs to be eliminated'

Again, according to the dictionary

the greater part or number; the number larger than half the total (opposed to minority):

see the first part, it says, the greater part OR the number larger than half.

LMAO, you mean conservatives are intelligent enough to understand the merits of the electoral college. Whereas Dems only cry about the EC when they lose the election. Your party knew it could happen as you whined about it after the 2000 elections. Yet they did nothing to change it when they controlled the WH and both houses of Congress. Why is that do you think?

LMAO, you ignored everything I wrote about conservatives opposing measures that would get more people voting, and their efforts to suppress the vote.

Why is that do you think?

Here's another for you SF

sim·ple ma·jor·i·ty
noun

  • a majority in which the highest number of votes cast for any one candidate, issue, or item exceeds the second-highest number, while not constituting an absolute majority.

Because it is pure nonsense. We require ID for how many routing things in life? Yet you and your kind pretend that somehow people just can't get those ID's. I wonder why it is Dems refuse to help those people GET ID's and instead continue to fight ID measures.

I wonder why it is that Dems are so afraid of someone looking into voter fraud???

Holy shite, SF - it is delusional to not at least acknowledge that Republicans in general try to keep efforts that would expand the rolls down. How is it possible to deny that? Again, starting w/ motor voter, and everything since. Have you really not noticed that, at all? You could have some credibility by at least acknowledging that very basic, obvious fact.

"Afraid" is a horrible word to use on that 2nd part. Maybe "bored"? Even many Republicans join the chorus of reasonable people who realize that fraud has been investigated and looked into endlessly, and that they consistently haven't found more than isolated incidents.

Who sounds like desh here? You are detached, SF.

What the fuck are you rambling about now? Again, the system is set up to make sure that there isn't a tyranny of the majority. That every vote counts. If you eliminate the electoral college, you set it up to where the candidates will only campaign in heavily populated areas. Promise them the world in order to get voted in. Under the electoral college, it is a winner take all by state. (again, Nebraska and Maine the exceptions). Yet you ramble that '90% are too stupid'... which is just more nonsense from you. You again are refusing to explain how you think the 3/5th's rule (not 2/3 as you incorrectly stated) is a racist component of the electoral college.

You are too ignorant to even understand the 3/5th rule.

Let's not forget that the party in power can then "buy them off" by concentrating who and where gets Federal assistance or notice and the hell with everyone else.

Which is simply the same system as we have today, done at the district level rather than the state level. The more you break it out, the more you allow for the tyranny of the majority.

What we need is term limits in Congress. No more career politicians.

Can tell me how over 95% of Indian voters have photo ID for their elections but the US is incapable of doing the same?

yes. it's counter-intuitive, but the EC actually forces candidates to campaign more in less populated areas.
That is a good thing

There is no "forcing"; because they can choose not to, like Hillary, and then they just have to take their chances.

I said that as a joke but frankly I reckon many women, or men come to that , would do it for a lot less. For half a million I'd even give Desh's dog a BJ!
