MoveOn electoral college petitions

[soylentBlue]

MoveOn.org has two petitions on the electoral college that are being hyped on social media, one to abolish the electoral collage and go with the popular vote and one to have the electoral college elect Hillary. Is there is chance that the electors would decide to cast their votes for Hillary or would that be just too outrageous?

Either way Trump is going to do so good, in 4 years he will be elected again. Then after another 4, another Repub/Conservative will be elected.
I hope

Someone needs to instruct them on the proper methods to amend the constitution.

Perhaps, MoveOn will get behind an Article V Convention of States so that they can propose an amendment to eliminate the electoral college? It won't pass...but it would be nice to get that convention underway.

I seriously doubt it will happen. Around half the states have laws against faithless electors.

The reason the Electoral College exists is to keep the large populated cities from out voting the rural areas. I don't think that either one will happen. Just wishful thinking on the Liberals part.

I still feel it needs to be adjusted. There is no reason why you need 40 plus States to counteract the biggest 5.

California alone has almost a quarter of the votes needed to win.

Not fair.

Someone needs to convince them the Law of Gravity is a Republican conspiracy and they should protest that too.

Remind these morons that Al Gore's campaign published a memo/press release before the election against Bush arguing in favor of the electoral college. At that time the projections were that Bush would win the popular vote with Gore winning the electoral college.

These ignorant people don't understand the first thing about how this government was setup. The founders wanted to protect the rights of smaller populations. Thus the two houses of congress. States are apportioned representation based on population in the House. However every state gets two senators regardless of population. This ensures the larger states cannot bully the smaller ones.

This is all just whining because their side lost.

It needs to be re-worked. Not a winner take all thing.

Gravity is a lie created by the government to hold us down in place.

Gravity is just a THEORY!

There's one more election to go that involves 12 jurors .

The progressive left will be relentless in their attacks as they are funded by George Soros. They will try to be a fly in the ointment and distractions at every opportunity. They will Riot and protest and kick and scream. Thankfully we have someone that represents our interests going to Washington, and he will get a supreme court set up that should defend our freedoms. Now, we are going to need to counter the leftist with their petitions in their protests, we can't just leave it all up to the political class to deal with. But that's something we can talk about in the coming weeks.

A trap door and some rough rope.
