Rep. Nancy Pelosi Promises To Overturn 'Citizens United' If We Give Her Back The House

99. Electoral College.

Having electors for each state was the Founder's was of limiting the power of high population center state over less populated state. We must always think about unintended consequences when we demand a change, like getting rid of the EC. Yes, getting rid of the EC would work to democrats favor now. But what about twenty years from now? I am of the opinion that democrats will gain majorities this year and continue to increase those majorities going forward as long as rational legislation is passed. Rational legislation does not imply bills that back away from important social and financial changes that must happen like full rights for gay people, sensible and humane immigration reform and fair taxation, to the contrary, those changes will be brought about as republicans are beaten back.
