House Democrats introduce bill to abolish the electoral college

House Democrats have introduced a bill to abolish the electoral college via an amendment to the constitution.

Introduced on January 11th and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the bill proposes an “amendment to the Constitution of the United States to abolish the electoral college and to provide for the direct election of the President and Vice President of the United States.”

Authors of the bill include Rep. Cohen, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Rep. Julia Brownley, Peter DeFazio, Rep. Adriano Espaillat, Rep. John Garamendi, and Rep. Jim Cooper.

Thenationalpulse.com reports: Before revealing what the constitutional amendment would look like, the bill rebukes the electoral college as created in “an era of limited nationwide communication and information sharing” and resting on “an antiquated theory that citizens will have a better chance of knowing about electors from their home States than about Presidential candidates from out of State”

“The development of mass media and the internet has made information about Presidential candidates easily accessible to United States citizens across the country and around the world,” the bill also notes.

The bill includes a seven-section article to be added to the Consitution:

  1. congress just cant change the constitution it would have to be ratified by the states if it were that simple they would have gotten rid of the 2nd amend this way!!

    • UNFORTUNATELY THE LAW DOESN’T MATTER TO THESE PEOPLE. IT WILL HAPPEN. THEY WILL DISMANTEL THE CONSTITUTION. IF WE WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, WE NEED TO DO IT NOW. BUT EVERYONE IS TOO CHICKEN.

    • Does the article say they can? No. It says they have created a bill that proposes an amendment. The writer conveniently leaves out the bits about what it would take to get said proposal passed.

  2. A popular vote would end all this infighting and 2nd class system of the downed.Where do I sign at? it is the will of the people not of the overlords

  3. Next they should get rid of the power of the parden which is corrupting american into total 1% disfuction as we get murderd off and slaved for the corp lobby fratty1SS^^^$$$

  4. Daddy warbuck howard hughes had trillion upon trillions in patent right royuitys which still feed the fratty`SS and he didn`t give them the rights willingly he was murdered in commy mexico for those rights which still run about every dark program in the country via the fartie pack`SS^^^$$$

  5. Without the Electoral College, the 3 most populous cities in the US will effectively select the US president of the US – Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City.

    Can anyone guess the percentage of Democrats in each of these 3 US cities and the amount of vote fraud that Democrats perpetrate there?

    My guess is all of them are over 100% Democrat (due to vote fraud) and vote fraud is extremely rampant and taken for granted.
