Democrats still trying to Eliminate Electoral College

Democrats wasting a lot of time

You have to wonder how these people get elected

It never ceases to amaze how many elected officials seem to have skipped the day in civics class when they covered the Constitution—you know, the foundational document they swore an oath to uphold.

Once again, here come the Democrats, filing a bill and pushing yet another half-baked scheme to “restore democracy” by abolishing the Electoral College. It’s the same tired mantra, and it’s just as misguided—and unconstitutional—as ever.

First, let’s start with some facts that Senate Democrats appear oblivious to. Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution spells it out as clearly as it can be spelled:

“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors…”

In other words, we don’t have a direct popular vote for president. Never have. Instead, the states—sovereign entities in our federal system—hold elections to choose electors, and those electors meet to vote for the President of the United States.

This system, known as the Electoral College, is both brilliant and necessary because it ensures every state—not just New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago—has a voice in choosing the president.

The Founders understood that pure democracy—the unchecked rule of the majority—is just a fast track to mob rule. Democrats really need to read the Constitution and understand the procedure.
