That POS "routinely" stalks and harasses women, Earl.
So try to amend it.
On the other hand, supporters of the Electoral College see it as an integral part of our federal union, and a necessary way to give the states, as well as the people, a role in choosing the leadership of the government. Now, as in 1787, it’s seen as a critical way of preventing large urban centers from dominating the political process at the expense of rural areas. In any case, eliminating the Electoral College would not be an easy process. Congress, or a national constitutional convention, would have to propose an amendment, which would then have to be ratified by either three-quarters of state legislatures (currently 38) or by state ratifying conventions in three-quarters of the states.
Those who argue in favor of the current system can point to the fact that in more than 200 years, the electoral and popular votes have split just five times, and faithless electors have never changed the result of an election. Given that statistic, perhaps many would agree with Alexander Hamilton, who in No. 68 of the Federalist Papers wrote of the new Electoral College system that “if the manner of it be not perfect, it is at least excellent.”

They designed a Federated Republic, NOT a Democracy NOR an Oligarchy. Read the U.S. Constitution...
They didn't design Senators to be elected by popular vote either (Senators were supposed to be elected by the State). The Founders only designed the House to be elected by popular vote. Having the three positions elected in three different ways was a way for different interests to each get their representation in federal government. Having all three elected by popular vote completely destroys that concept, and attempts to make America more into a Democracy (none ever survive), which is a gateway into transforming America into an Oligarchy.
Too funny, now he wants the actual wording to prove Democrats opposed the electoral college prior to 2016, next he'll demand the video
How about this, "electorial college is a disaster for a democracy a total shame and travesty" - Donald Trump, 11/6/12. But he topped that later when he called it "disgrace and phony," that was when he was against it before he was for it

Yup.
You know a whiny, low IQ, Trump hating leftist has lost their argument when they start quoting Trump.
Why are so many of you lefties doing what Hillary said is a threat to our democracy by questioning election results? Wait, did she question election results?
No, I don't.
I don't recall DEMOCRATS calling the Electoral College an "18th century embarrassment" prior to November 9th, 2016.
Are you stupid, dishonest, or both? I suspect the latter, based on your posts.

hahaha yeah, he likely ain't going to explain anything... These types can't seem to form their own arguments, so they chant slogans and buzzwords instead.
I've historically compared these types to being robots. They get programmed (and are ultimately controlled) by the leftists within the federal government, and the leftist media soundbites are their software updates.
This gets more interesting every time I see it, it has gone from a straight Republic, to Constitutional Republic, and now Federated Republic.
It is a Democratc Republic, we elect our leaders democratically to serve as out representatives in a Republican form of Government. Federated implies the structure of the Governmemt, not how we arrived at that framework.
And Federalism implies the relationship between the individual States and Federal Gov't, again the framework, but not how we elect our leaders
of course they are proposing it they lose when you count all of America and not just big cities!
The liberal hive mind is fascinating, isn't it?

I am taking about 'all of America'.......we shouldn't count the votes from big cities, only votes from little shit towns in the sticks?
wtf?
No, what you are doing now is attempting to save face, too late, you implied in your posts that Democrats didn't care about the electoral college prior to 2016, which I easily showed you were incorrect, and now you are attempting to stretch it by claiming only the actual wording you cited would prove Democrats cared prior to 2016.
You f*cked up, not my problem

so there are hundreds of counties in the sticks with actual people living on 2 farms, big deal lol
When you "count all of America" you are counting geography, not people, and last I knew, people elected their leaders, especially in a democratic nation
