Yup, the Electoral College sucks, you’ll get no argument there. But it’s infinitely preferable to the unelected police state that is China. Yes, the Constitution broke down five times in the election of the President, but every other time the popular vote winner got the White House.
Look fella…I’m on your side, believe it or not. That’s why I support the National Popular Vote. 11 states have already signed up for this, including mine. Has yours? Basically it works like this…the winner of the national popular vote gets your state’s Electoral College votes (rather than just the winner of your state’s popular vote, which we have now). So, no need for a Constitutional amendment. States are totally free to allocate their electoral votes as they see fit.
Once the equivalent of 270 electoral votes sign on to this plan, it becomes law. We’re up to 110, by the way…
You in, or you out?
