posty 2,296 Posted August 20, 2019 Of course it works when a Democrat is in the White House... https://www.yahoo.com/news/ocasio-cortez-electoral-college-scam-193639269.html Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) on Monday called the U.S. Electoral College “a scam” that negatively affects minorities. “We’re coming to you live from the Electoral College,” the New York Democrat said in a video on Instagram, which featured her driving along a sparsely populated highway in what appears to be a desert somewhere in the western part of the country. “Many votes here, as you can see. Very efficient way to choose leadership of the country. I mean I can’t think of any other way, can you?” The freshman congresswoman went on to cite a New York magazine story titled, “Here’s Every Defense of the Electoral College — and Why They’re All Wrong.” “Due to severe racial disparities in certain states, the Electoral College effectively weighs white voters over voters of color, as opposed to a ‘one person, one vote’ system where all our votes are counted equally,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Could you imagine if we had this kind of democracy-altering ‘fairness’ provision for literally any other group? If we weighed, for example, black and indigenous voters more because of unfairness?” “Facts are facts America,” said the 29-year-old progressive, who represents parts of the Bronx and Queens. “The Electoral College has to go.” Several Democratic presidential candidates, including Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren and South Bend, Ind. mayor Pete Buttigieg, have also said they believe the Electoral College should be retired. The notion of ending the Electoral College has picked up steam lately in blue states. A number of states have joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which would give the states’ electoral votes to the candidate who wins the popular vote. But the agreement will not take effect until the electoral votes of participating states total 270. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,485 Posted August 20, 2019 It is up to each State to decide where they want to cast their electoral votes. They do not have to cast them all for the winner of the State’s popular vote, they could cast them for the winner of the National Popular vote. This came up in 2016 . She should worry about NY and not the entire country when it comes to electoral votes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBayXXXVII 2,130 Posted August 20, 2019 She's such an idiot. The electoral college HELPS minorities. Minorities are mostly found in large cities... in big states... states with a lot of electoral college votes. The Democrats win the states with the highest percentage of minorities.

RLLD 3,455 Posted August 21, 2019 She is a perfect example of the difference between knowledge and wisdom. Wisdom is something we typically acquire through experiential activities. She is young, thinks she has everything figured out as most young kids do. She thinks everyone else is stupid or corrupt and she has a vision of utopia she wants to force on the world......just like Pol Pot..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBayXXXVII 2,130 Posted August 21, 2019 Either the left is promoting her so that they can move more left or they're promoting her so that she can make a big fool of herself and use her as the punching bag for the party so that people don't really see how the left operates. The 12th Amendment was passed in 1804, enacting the Electoral College. I highly doubt that one of the factors in creating this was "Hey, in 60 years, black people are going have the right to vote. How can we f'k them over before it's even an issue?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
