Get rid of the electoral college. a very small minority is choosing who becomes president. They do no always vote for whom the majority in their states want as president. They vote for who they want as president, like they know better than the rest of the population. Not putting aside the fact that who may get paid what for voting one way or the other, or what threats are put to who.

The founding fathers did not trust the urban mass and they feared that the large urban population of a couple of states might outweigh the votes of the folks in the other states. Hence the electoral college to protect the states and the country from easily swayed urban masses.

This seems to be the only part of government that’s working as it should. If the electoral college is abolished, the whole country would be at the mercy of the large, populated cities. I don’t believe either that Congress should be able to keep changing our Constitution. Pretty soon it will be the Democratic Constitution and not the United States Constitution

The food growing parts of the country have many people who know how to do things that the eaters in this country do not.
Like blow up the bridges that bring all the food into those big cities for the eaters to eat.
And if they make any genuine inroads on our rights such as this I have a feeling that sort of thing will happen shortly thereafter.

The Electoral College must absolutely be preserved. The Founding Fathers of our country recognized the need to provide a mechanism to ensure that less populated states would be fairly represented and have a voice. Today’s Democrats want to get rid of it because they know they have a better shot at winning by “popular vote,” i.e. racking up the numbers from more heavily populated states that are traditional Democrat strongholds. California, New York, and New Jersey, for example. Plus, any of numerous others that may “flip” to “Blue.” They also know they can cheat big time in states without any voter I.D. requirements. (They’ve been known to bribe people and bus them around all day long to vote in different polling places for the same candidates, exponentially increasing the Democrat tally). Breaking, bending, or changing the rule of law in order to win is standard operating procedure for the Democrats. Nothing is sacred to them. Not even our Constitution or the safeguards built into it. Without the Electoral College, Hillary Clinton would’ve won in 2016 by popular vote. That’s scary enough to contemplate, to say nothing of what might happen in 2020 with the current rogue’s gallery of Democrat desperados looking to seize power. There’s a scene in the 1962 political thriller, “Seven Days in May,” a movie about a military plot to overthrow our government, which raises serious constitutional issues. In the scene, the late actor Frederick March who plays the president, asks Kirk Douglas, a Marine Corps. colonel: “Do you believe in the Constitution, Col. Casey?” Kirk Douglas replies: “It’s worked pretty well for us so far, Mr. President. I don’t want to suggest we change it.”
And neither should we the people allow the leftist Democrats to change it, and that includes keeping the Electoral College provision.

My answer to #1 is that no, I do NOT agree with the Democrats trying to eliminate the Electoral College. To #3, yes, I DO agree that to eliminate the EC will require a Constitutional amendment. To do so will require a 2/3 majority vote in both the House and Senate and I believe they will not allow such an amendment to pass!

The constitution allowed for the electoral college in order to prevent large cities/states from being able to win all elections based on their population numbers alone. The electoral college assures that even voters in small cities/states can have their votes count. All people who want to do away with the electoral college either simply don’t understand the “why” of the process, or they want to stack the deck so that only largely populated states will determine the election results. In other words states like New York, which has a huge populace, would have all the say in determining presidential elections, and the smaller states would have virtually no voice. Our job here is to ensure that young people realize why the electoral college was put into place, and why it is a fair practice for all Americans, instead of just those in highly populated states. This won’t be an easy task, as most of the media is biased and is striving to convince people that only a “popular vote” would be a fair process. The rationale for the electoral college must be clearly explained and properly understood in order for the average person to see that it truly benefits each state and gives each a fair amount of votes based on that state’s population.

The Electoral college is a good system. The biggest problem I see is the ‘winner take all’ which deprives many individual congressional districts of their rightful electoral Votes just because the majority in the Rest of the state voted another way. For example: California and New York deprive every Republican congressional districts of their electoral votes. It works the other way as well but less often. Winner take all, tilts elections in favor of big city political machines and invites corruption.

That ‘it does not matter’ bit does matter. This proposal to eliminate the EC is leftist strategy. None of them really expect it to happen soon, unless voters give them them majorities across the US. But the left will persist, erode people’s patience, resolve, so by say 2050 it will be gone from the Constitution. I mean look how the leftist have taken Christianity out of public life, made Socialism a good idea – they taught the children that it was so, and very few parents took a stand – and many parents in the US are refugees from Socialist/Communist countries.

The example of what actually happened in 2016 serves to illustrate why our founding fathers had the wisdom to make our Country a Federal Constitutional Republic and not a Democracy. In 2016 Donald Trump won 2626 counties across our country, while Hillary Clinton only won 487 counties. That means without the Electoral College this country might have elected a President from the votes of less than one fifth of our citizens concentrated in a few large cities and populous counties including New York City and Los Angeles on both coasts and Chicago in the center. Even removing the millions of illegal votes of non citizens, dead people, and duplicate voting it is possible Hillary could have won. Meanwhile the people living in 2626 counties, which is almost all of this country, would have had their votes disenfranchised. It is important to remember that we are the United States of America and people in each and every State are important. That is why most of the powers of our Government are left to the States as specified in the Constitution. That is why we have 2 Senators from each State, and that is why the Electoral College was designed by the founding fathers to ensure every State had fair representation in electing our President.
