There’s a plan afoot to replace the Electoral College, and your state may already be part of it

Why Was the Electoral College Created?

How the Electoral College Was Nearly Abolished in 1970

Virginia House passes bill to award electoral votes to whoever wins the popular vote

Did you know there IS already a movement?

The Movement To Skip The Electoral College Is About To Pass A Major Milestone

Somebody knows!

Tara Ross and Prager U is wrong on so many levels!

Let me explain with facts, logic and reason (and I am not a leftist Democrat)

The same reason we got the 3/5ths Compromise, Slavery

James Madison on Slavery and the Electoral College

The Troubling Reason the Electoral College Exists

Electoral College is ‘vestige’ of slavery, say some Constitutional scholars

The real reason we have an Electoral College: to protect slave states

The Electoral College’s Racist Origins

This is True. Federalist 10. James Madison. Factions. The reason we have a Senate and a House. Our founders had no concerns of how states selected their winner . Some states didn’t even bother to hold a vote, just let their state legislatures choose their state’s winner. Only white men with property were allowed to vote.

Switzerland on Line 1….. We vote for mayors, sheriffs, city councils, county commissions, school boards, states legislatures and US House and Senate.

In recent years, is the minority GOP that has tyrannized the Majority!

GOP Senators Representing a Minority of Americans Are Preventing a Fair Impeachment Trial

Democrats got millions more votes – so how did Republicans win the Senate?

Great Civics Lesson but has nothing to do with the Electoral College. This was Montesquieu’s idea that Madison plagiarized. Montisque never mentioned an Electoral College.

Baron de Montesquieu, Charles-Louis de Secondat

This is wrong:

Our 3 branches of government and the makeup of our House (Virginia Plan) and Senate (New Jersey Plan) have NOTHING to do with why we have the Electoral College

This is how it OPERATES, it does not WORK

Just Four States are Likely to Determine the Outcome of 2020 Presidential Race

40-46 of them are pre-determined every four year

Electoral Map: Blue or Red States Since 2000

6 states determined our president in 2016

Here’s a look at how insanely close the election actually was in six key states

I live in a Red State – My Vote Doesn’t Count

Electors that are NOT bound to vote the way the voters of their state want them to vote

Can the Members of the Electoral College Choose Who They Vote For?

The Electoral Punt

This is ABSOLUTELY WRONG! Candidates only campaign in the swing states, the battleground states. These videos explain it well:

This year it is Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan and Wisconsin

Trump, Biden zero in on swing states that are key to victory

Follow the Money

Biden Is Outspending Trump On TV, And Just 6 States Are The Focus Of The Campaign

Swing States in the Presidential Election

A Campaign Map, Morphed By Money

This has NO Basis in Fact!

How Trump won the presidency with razor-thin margins in swing states

Trump’s victory margin smaller than total Stein votes in key swing states

Yes, you can, because it only takes a few southern states and a few midwest states to win

The 2020 electoral map could be the smallest in years. Here’s why.

Now Tara Ross makes the biggest cities, biggest states argument

If she studied the US Census (or watched the videos I posted above) she would know this argument does not hold up to facts. Let’s do some math.

America: A Nation of Small Towns

“The biggest cities, the biggest states’. This lie has been repeated so many times a lot of my friends believe it. Let’s look at the States the video has highlighted. California? 39,557,045 – or 12.1% of US Population Texas? 28,701,845 – 8.81% Florida? 21,299,325 – 6.55% New York? 6.02% Pennsylvania? 3.89% Illinois? 3.85% Ohio? 3.55% Georgia? 10,519,475 – 3.23% North Carolina? 10,383,620 – 3.18% Michigan? 3.03%

US States – Ranked by Population 2019

Big cities? Top 25 CITIES make up 11.6% of US Population. MSAs? Top 25 from New York to Seattle? 51% – so Large Cities argument is bogus as well!

Largest cities in the United States by population

The top 37,841 cities, from New York City to Stamford, South Dakota, makes up 65% of our US population. So saying New York and California or New York City and Los Angeles will decide our president is WRONG.

United States Cities Database

YES! (I have already explained this)

The Election Came Down to 77,744 Votes in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan (Updated)

She goes with the swing states are constantly changing argument. MOST states are not and swing states are not CONSTANTLY changing. WATCH since 2004 – how many times have Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio or Virginia changed?

‘Same Since’ Electoral Maps

1988 was Bush vs Dukakis!

Texas

Not since 1976 – Remember the South used to vote Democrat (George Wallace ring a bell?)

Southern Strategy

New Hampshire last voted Republican in 2000 for George W. Bush

New Hampshire

Virginia voted Republican from 1968 until 2014, and Democratic ever since

Virginia

She goes with the George W Bush didn’t win because of Florida

but West Virginia argument

West Virginia has been a Red State ever since that election

West Virginia

Al Gore lost Tennessee, his home state

This has no basis in fact!

The 10 Closest States in the 2016 Election

The sad thing is how many people don’t bother to vote because they don’t think their vote matters if they live in a Red State or a Blue State

If “Did Not Vote” Had Been A Candidate In The 2016 US Presidential Election, It Would Have Won By a Landslide

It makes it EASIER! You just have to win a couple of key states! Most states do not matter. Can we say “Voter Suppression in Key States”?

So many swing states? 4? 6? That is MANY?

Do the math. There is NO evidence of any widespread voter fraud, ever. It is far easier to swing one SWING state than scattered precincts in all 50 states plus Washington, DC.

The Myth of Voter Fraud

Nothing in this slide has any basis in fact. The MAJORITY of A State chooses that state’s winner. No coalition building is necessary. There is NO Voter Fraud.

The Creaky Old System

I have been wanting the Electoral College abolished since 1972.

The electoral college is in trouble

We came close abolishing it in 1969!

State Electors Give Nixon 12, Wallace 1

The Electoral College Votes Today. But Politicians Have Been Trying to Reform It for Decades

In September of 1969, the House—after the idea received bipartisan Judiciary Committee support—voted 339-to-70 to approve Bayh’s Constitutional amendment that would abolish the old system. In the spring of 1970, the Senate’s Judiciary Committee seconded the endorsement. Still, there were fears, for example that direct elections would lead to confusion by encouraging many spoiler candidates to throw their hats in the ring, that a president could be elected without broad geographic support, that campaigning would get prohibitively expensive or, perhaps most importantly, that nixing the state-by-state system would erode the basic federalist system of U.S. government. And both parties worried that a change of any kind would somehow advantage one party or the other. Ultimately, though Nixon did say he supported the amendment, he did not go out of his way to push for it and it never managed to gain enough support to defeat a Senate filibuster.

Abolishing The Electoral College Used To Be A Bipartisan Position. Not Anymore.

“The bipartisan support among voters and the fact that the 1968 election nearly produced a split between the popular vote and the Electoral College³ explain why there was bipartisan support in Congress in 1969 for a constitutional amendment to elect presidents based on the popular vote. The House passed it 339 to 70, with more than 80 percent of each party’s voting members lending their support. But small-state senators from both parties filibustered the amendment and it never got an up-or-down vote in the upper chamber.”

In 1969, Democrats and Republicans united to get rid of the electoral college. Here’s what happened

This is not a Democratic Party or Republican Party Issue

Ex-Romney strategist: Kill the Electoral College to help America and, yes, Republicans

This is a FAIRNESS issue. Fair to who? Fair to you and me. Every person’s vote should count equally. No Blue States. No Red States.

How red or blue is your state?
