If Kamala wins via the electoral college, should that victory be turned down in honor of the dems who want to eliminate the EC?

Yes, absolutely. But we won't have to worry about that. Harris won't be winning this election. The people want a better economy and she is not capable of delivering on that. Trump has helped the economy before and the economy is the bigger issue in this country next to the border crisis. The only ones voting for Harris want to kill men's babies

[gatixek710]

I think so. It'd be disingenuous for them to accept her presidency under an illegitimate system.

I am curious.

Doesn't the US need to have a two thirds majority in both houses of Congress followed by 3/4 of states ratifying the amendment So if 13 of the 50 states said No wouldn't that scupper an amendment for popular vote to elect your President? .

Is there any genuine realistic pathway for such an amendment to be successful?

[DrPepper12]

We don't need an amendment. The interstate voting compact will have the same effect using math instead of an amendment process.

How National Popular Vote Works
Winner-take-all is not in the U. S. Constitution, and not mentioned at the Constitutional Convention.

Instead, the U. S. Constitution (Article II) gives the states exclusive control over the choice of method of awarding their electoral votes—thereby giving the states a built-in way to reform the system.

“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors….”

The National Popular Vote law will take effect when enacted by states with a majority of the electoral votes (270 of 538). Then, the presidential candidate receiving the most popular votes in all 50 states and DC will get all the electoral votes from all of the enacting states. That is, the candidate receiving the most popular votes nationwide will be guaranteed enough electoral votes to become President.

Under the National Popular Vote law, no voter will have their vote cancelled out at the state-level because their choice differed from majority sentiment in their state. Instead, every voter’s vote will be added directly into the national count for the candidate of their choice. This will ensure that every voter, in every state, will be politically relevant in every presidential election—regardless of where they live.

The National Popular Vote law is a constitutionally conservative, state-based approach that retains the power of the states to control how the President is elected and retains the Electoral College.

The National Popular Vote Compact has been enacted into law by 17 states and the District of Columbia, including 5 small states (DE, HI, ME, RI, VT), 9 medium-sized states (CO, CT, MD, MA, MN, NJ, NM, OR, WA), and 3 big states (CA, IL, NY). These jurisdictions have 209 of the 270 electoral votes needed to activate the law.

209 out of 270. I actually have hope...

[RavVid]

@DrPepper12 Ah! Thank you for explaining this. Much appreciated.

[DrPepper12]

I'm not going to answer but I'm just going to provide this and ask that you consider it before posting next time.

[Red_Arrow]

If she doesn't win it, then Trump will win it and there will be no more elections since Trump said he will become dictator and rule forever. At that time, even his retarded followers will see how bad he is and it is likely war will break out.

[Avicenna]

Democrats will believe anything, no matter how deranged.

[Red_Arrow]

@Avicenna No. Democrats will believe what is possible. Republicans create the things that are deranged.

[Avicenna]

Propaganda isn’t „possible“, much less reality. We constantly see that Democrats not only do not live in reality, but they take their cues from the most extreme elements of the far left.

[MisterWack]

P. S. EVERY Presidential Election has been determined by electoral college system not popular vote. So this doesn’t really mean anything unlike the guy who claimed he could reverse the electoral college decision with fake electors plot.

[Anonymous]

Those that want to eliminate the electoral college are too stupid to understand that once it's gone, unless you live in California or new York, your vote simply doesn't count.

[BCA6010]

No, but you could definitely expect the party's tone towards the electoral college to change on the spot, just like it always does with the filibuster.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, funny how it works perfectly fine when THEY win because of it!

[jshm2]

No. That's retarded.

You can only win by the rules set. Changes to the rules can only be enacted after.

[RowdyYates]

I would love to see your question asked to Kamala at the next interview. 😂😂😂😂😂

[Avicenna]

Imagine the word salad that would result in addition to her abusive behavior toward the staff member unfortunate enough to accompany her.

[RowdyYates]

@Avicenna

I'm truly embarrassed for the Democrats. I better if you were tasked to find someone dumber than her, it would take months.

[Avicenna]

An idiot is easier to control, and that’s what the Felocrats want.

[Anonymous]

I'm independent and I'd say anyone who finished second in the popular vote should lose but if it isn't going to be overturned for one side, then of course it shouldn't for the other.

[lightbulb27]

yea they should concede only to popular vote and genuflect towards trump.

lol..

[DryGermanGuy]

Why should they, when she is practically guaranteed to also win the popular vote?

[RowdyYates]

Why are you rewriting the question?

[exitseven]

No. the rules are the rules.
