Should California Threaten Secession To Abolish Electoral College?

304. We agree then: apportionment favors small states,

the EC should be abolished, but it won't be, and democrats need more votes than republicans. Hillary lost the 3 swing states she needed by a total of about 70 k votes...directly attributed to repub efforts at removing voters of color from voter roles and using "faulty" equipment in heavy minority districts. It is based on this cheating and fraud that the EC played a role in this election, and the one in 2000 as well. Democrats need to regain state houses, gain control of the vote process and get the message out to voters that they need to check their voter registration status before each election..and secure universal voter registration when kids turn 18. The electoral college is an anachronism that should go away, but that will take a constitutional amendment, something that will not happen any time soon. But for 70k votes we would not be discussing the EC at this time. 70k is not an overwhelming amount we have to spend years growing, it is a simple matter of making sure dems get their voters out to the polls and make sure that they are able to vote when they get there. I have not looked at the numbers state by state but it would be my guess that if every electoral vote cast was apportioned by vote percentage instead of winner take all we would have our first woman president. Nothing in the constitution concerning the EC supports the system we have in place for most states, that is something we can fix without amending the constitution. We were robbed and this country will pay a heavy price, lets work to make sure this gets fixed in the most effective way possible.
