    If the people didn't want the EC, then they would eliminate it.

    If the people don't want the EC why do we still have it?

    You spelled "asserted" wrong.

    it's 2019. EVERY single person has unlimited access to each candidate, their platforms and their campaigns. This isn't 1820, where candidates are traveling the country on railroads, or stage coaches.

    this renders the EC as obsolete in the 21st century.

    A Supreme court ruling that can be thrown out.

    Wait I thought you keep telling us this is 1869 when the bonds game of Texas Vs white took place?

    Sorry you may have access to him but you are one of 330million people and he isn't God not is anyone on his staff. The odds that he will even see your email is vanishingly small.

    it can't, but even if it could, it hasn't. States can not secede.



    oh look, a strawman

    Nobody is talking about email. I'm pointing out that every single person in this country has unlimited access to a candidates campaign, platform and agenda.

    of course it will be. If republicans can ever get enough support of the people to actually win a popular vote again, and yet lose the EC, those republicans will be clamoring for the removal of the EC. Trump even agrees it needs abolished.

    I am quite happy that the popular vote in 57 counties does not rule over the popular vote in 1083 counties.
    I like the way that our electoral college mitigates the power that people in highly concentrated populations have historically exercised over those in less densely populated places.

    And yet, they seem to disagree with you, because we still have the EC.

    Oh a majority of the people. Not the people, as you said earlier. Yeah, the treaty never set up a democracy. It set up a system whereby the legislature, president, and judiciary would be carefully balanced between more and less populous states.

    So, which 38 states do you think will opt to change the treaty so that their political power is diminished?

    No Republicans know what the rules are , Democrats dont and cheat using the consensus to cheat with illegals, California should only have 53 EC votes not 55

    Trump = 304

    Hillary = 227


    It appears you think 227 is bigger than 304, why?
