US Democrat Representative Introduces Constitutional Amendment to Abolish the Electoral College


Democrats have been disgruntled ever since Donald Trump won the electoral college to gain the presidency while Democrat Hillary Clinton is said to have won a 2.8 million majority of the popular vote. The electoral college was written into the US Constitution to protect the smaller states from being politically overpowered by the larger states.  Today, Democrats and many Republicans, too, have forgotten the wisdom of protecting the rights of the minority against the passion and greed of the majority and say that it is unfair that sparsely populated states like Wyoming have equal representation in the Senate to states that have much larger populations. -GEG

Desperate to bring the Tyranny of the Majority to our representative democracy, on the first day Democrats assumed control of the House of Representatives, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) submitted a bill to kill the electoral college.

More than a century ago, we amended our Constitution to provide for the direct election of U.S. Senators. It is past time to directly elect our President and Vice President.”

Democrat frustration over losing the presidency when they won the most votes is certainly justified. But it is also their own fault. If these triggered snowflakes would get over their Red State prejudices and dare to live amongst us, that influence might flip enough states. But they refuse to. These snobby bigots find Middle America icky, so they cower together in coastal and big city bubbles.
