Trump Administration
Electoral College Is a Modern-Day Travesty for the World's Greatest Democracy
Ivan Eland
   Most Americans voted for Hillary Clinton, but Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States. It's the second time in the last 16 years, in a country purporting to be the world's greatest democracy, that a significant oddity has

This nation is not a democracy, it is a Republic. Suggest you read The Federalist Papers for a better understanding of the why(s) and how(s) our nation was organized as such. The ease in which large numbers of the public have been willing to raid the treasury for socialist programs to line with which to their pockets, and the eagerness to surrender their Liberties and Freedoms to a Ceberean Surveillance State should yield all the testimony needed to acknowledge the power and control of the MSM in the hands of special interests in shaping the opinions of the masses to perform as lemmings. No. Give me a Republic with Government bound by a strictly adhered to Constitution.

Before even thinking about changing the electoral College process, we should be thinking about correcting the fraud in the voting machines, and the fraud in letting non-citizens and dead people vote, and fraud where people sneak in and vote more than once. :)

The media reported that Hillary had the popular vote before all the votes were in. Now we have the final total and it turns out Trump won the popular vote--despite considerable proven votescam. The media is not honest enough to report that. We will never know haw many hundreds of thousands of dead voters, repeat voters and noncitizens voted. We do know Hillary got most of those. If it were not for the electoral college, scamming the vote would have been much easier and the woman the people did not vote for would be heading for the White House. Breaking the battle up into States and DC saved the integrity of the election--such as it was.

So the top 5 populist states should decide what the rest of the states do? Why would they even bother campaigning in the rest of the country? Why would they even address their concerns?

Is this guy for real? Does he have any sense of history or our political system? Exactly why do ignoramuses like Eland have a forum? The 20th century attack on the federalist system has led directly to the monstrosity that should be known as Modor on the Potomac. The electoral college is the last barrier to being overrun by the democrats wave of socialist peasants into NY and CA that will completely wipe out our heritage. OK Eland, let the electoral college go, and have them bring in real democracy, good and hard. I'll be living elsewhere...
