I thought the electoral college exists to prevent large cities from drowning out the voices from rural areas? Sort of a counter balance against idiot majorities or mob rule. The electoral college will be very hard to get rid of.
This will never happen. They would have to dissolve states rights first and would definitely lead to armed conflict. Besides, it's now legal for them to cheat. They don't need to do away with the Electoral College.
Get rid of the electoral college? Fuck that, we should super size it. One electoral vote per county, and each county can hold an election to pick their electors. The county of San Francisco gets the same one vote as a small rural county.
That would dilute city lunatic political power to... not much at all.
This has been going on for years and go figure championed by people from both parties over the years.
The trick is it doesn’t get rid of the electoral college. All states joining the compact commit to using their electoral college votes for the winner of the popular vote.
The flaw with this is you are relegating the direction of the country based on the will of NY Ca voters. How’s that worked out so far?!
The electoral college is irrelevant until we fix the "who counts the votes" problem.
soros has done decades of damage that will take years to fix
Decades, I'm afraid. Do we have the will? We'll see.
That is definitely a problem
I don't care if everyone signs, it means nothing. Constitutional Ammendment is the only way to change it. Just Democrats testing the waters.
Yup

Definitely not at a state level that's for sure that I would have to be something done by Congress or the Supreme Court. Michigan is ignorant
ignorant = corrupt

This would put low population states on par with California too, effectively diluting CA, NY power too
As a NYer I approve this message hahaha
New York needs to be split like Maine
That's actually a really good idea

there has only ever been a single party
I disagree. They’d still have to cheat.
Now that people know what to look for they will never be able to cheat on that scale again.
