The EC brought us Dubya and Trump that is enough reason to gut it. Even dear leader wanted to abolish it before he was for it.
Also brought in Clinton and Obama :rolleyes. Without the electoral college, why would anyone in smaller states bother to vote, we all know that California, Oregon, Washington and New York would automatically vote only Democrat no matter who it is. It was created to make every vote count. By the way didn’t joe win the electoral college?
I used to think that way. But -- should the masses in the inner cities really have an equal vote to people like the farmers in the more sparsely populated states who grow our food? It says right here that a farmer's vote in the midwest is more important than a welfare mom in South Central LA.
Learn to read and comprehend all she said was "“I believe we should abolish the Electoral College and select our president by the winner of the popular vote, same as every other office,” she said in a post on social media." .
So a private citizen is not allowed to have an opinion? Fearless leader has been ranting that the EC should be eliminated but thats ok, right...
will she ever wake up one day and quit blaming others for her being a loser?
You have your "takers" and your "producers". The people who produce should get more of a say than those who take from the public treasury.
You're wasting your time complaining about the EC. It is NOT . GOING . ANYWHERE.
Unless you want to have a revolution and blood in the streets, or split the country up peacefully - the EC is here to stay. You will never get 38 states to agree to get rid of it. Ever.
My advice: stop complaining and get busy lining up the 38 states you will need to pass an amendment to the Constitution to change the rules. 3/4 of all states MUST ratifify the amendment for it to happen.
Now just remember, by doing so, 38 states are now voting to eliminate their own influence.
So it's going to take a lot of work.
Hillary needs to take a drink stay home she isn’t revelant anymore. No one wants to hear from her.

Historically not true. Things change. Reagan carried all of those states in 1984. CA went for Bush in 1988. For some of us, that's not that long ago.
Rather than get rid of the EC, states could simply award votes on a percentage basis.

As long as they give the states a one time pass if they want to leave the Republic then since the rules would be changed so profoundly.
