The Electoral College Keeps Big Democrat States

One of the most important facets of our republic, one put in place by the Constitution at the very starting, is our technique of electing a president. There just isn’t one, nationwide election for president; there may be no “national popular vote,” as some call it. It would not exist besides as a statistical curiosity. 

The electoral system ensures that all states have a say in electing the president and, in so doing, establishes the authority of the manager department. Democrats, more and more, are swearing to discover a means to get rid of this system, and in so doing, guarantee that presidents shall be elected by a few high-population cities.

Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis understands why that can be the end of our constitutional republic as we all know it.

The Electoral College displays the fact that the US is a republic. The Founders needed a constitutional system based on the consent of the ruled, but they needed filtering mechanisms so that the desire of the people can be channeled in the direction of the public good. And they needed the position of the states revered. The EC also ensures that in an “extended republic” just like the US, a candidate can not just run up the rating in one area of the nation. In our time, the EC serves to produce a clearer and more decisive winner (see, eg, Bill Clinton successful 43% of the favored vote but a strong majority in the EC) and focuses election administration in particular person states, which reduces complexity in a close race. We ought to be doing more to bolster federalism and the position states play, not additional weaken them. There is no motive to change the Electoral College.

This is appropriate in all particulars, and this is exactly why Democrats, most notably the latest crop of Democratic Socialists of America loonies who have infested the Democrat Party like fleas on a canine, need to get rid of this constitutional course of of electing presidents. Under their system, presidential politics can be dominated by New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and like large population Democrat strongholds. States like Vermont, or Iowa, or Arizona, or, yes, Alaska, can be ignored, and why not? They would no longer have any say in presidential elections.

Thing is, undoing our constitutional system will not be as simple as clueless Democrats suppose it would. But that doesn’t suggest they will not strive; here is one outstanding (and incoherent) Democrat coming proper out and saying the quiet half out loud.

Nuts… Kamala Harris says if Democrats take back full energy they’ll push to pack the Supreme Court with left-wing activists, abolish the Electoral College, and make DC and Puerto Rico states to add 4 more Democrat Senators. This may destroy America. https://t.co/l8F9Jk0vQx

“Could” would not enter into it; a nation modified so basically by Democrats can be unrecognizable. It flies in the face of every part the founders meant, which might be in large half why they need to do it.

We have two more years of control of the White House, and that veto pen shall be highly effective in President Trump’s control. But we need to look forward, to 2028 and past. Honestly, either in 2028, 2032, or 2036, we may do a lot worse than to, through our presidential electoral course of, ship Ron DeSantis to the White House.

Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has been contaminated by socialism, and it is spreading FAST. Democrats are claiming there’s nothing to fear about, but we all know the reality.
