If the electoral college is abolished the campaigns will only be courting the urban vote, traveling from large city to large city. Those who want to abolish the electoral college are urbanites who care nothing for state's rights. State governments and state identities are vital to the success of the Union. The majority of each STATE has a say because we are the united STATES. That is why the low population states and the high population states have the same number of senators for the upper house.
We are not a democracy. We are a democratically elected republic. Huge difference. If we ever allow ourselves to be reduced to a simple democracy we will be led to ruin.

Obuma said that and get rid of the Republican Party! In my life I've never seen a X President campaign after leaving Office like Obuma..
Ditto

Absolutely!! DONALD TRUMP WILL BRING OUR GREAT COUNTRY BACK AS OUR Great AMERICA country Again 2024 VOTE For TRUMP November 2024
It’s funny because I hear some say how the democrats love the electoral college and the sometimes they hate it. I guess it just depends which serves them better at any particular time.
The statements refer to the apparent democratic anomaly whereby US presidential polls are decided not by who wins the most votes nationwide but instead by which candidate captures a majority of 538 electoral votes across the 50 states, plus Washington DC.
The votes are distributed broadly reflective of each state’s population size, so populous California, for example, has 54 electoral college votes, while tiny Rhode Island has just four. However, rare cases of US presidents winning the electoral college while losing the popular vote tally do happen, notably in recent times George W Bush in 2000 and Donald Trump in 2016.
The concerns over the electoral college system crystallise the reality that next month’s contest between Harris and Trump, the Republican nominee, will come down to the outcomes in a small number of battleground states, where polls show them running neck-and-neck.
Most surveys indicate Harris having a small but consistent nationwide lead. Yet even if these are borne out on polling day, Trump could still return to the White House by winning enough swing states to reach the 270 electoral votes needed.
That scenario is feared by Democrats since it would repeat the outcome of the 2016 election, when Trump beat Hillary Clinton thanks to the electoral college despite winning nearly 3m fewer votes across the nation.
Walz’s comments are eye-catching because he was chosen as Harris’s running mate because his homely, plain-speaking style was judged as appealing to working-class voters in three of the most important battleground states, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
It is not the first time that Walz, the Minnesota governor, has advocated ditching the electoral college.
Last year, he signed legislation that added Minnesota to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which would force states to award their electors to the national popular vote winner if enough of them agreed to do so.
In the absence of that, only a constitutional amendment could alter the current electoral system.
Harris-Walz campaign officials stressed that abolishing the electoral college was not part of its agenda.
The comments were seized on gleefully by Trump’s campaign, which is generally believed to have an advantage in the present system.
The comment overlooked the fact that Trump himself has been accused of calling for “terminating the constitution” in support of his lie that Joe Biden and the Democrats stole the 2020 presidential election.
Research published last month by Pew showed 63% of American voters favouring electing the president by the popular vote, although support was greatest among Democrats, while a small majority of Republicans favoured keeping the electoral college.
Harris said in a 2019 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live that she was “open to the discussion” of changing the current system, saying the popular vote had been “diminished”. But she has avoided more categorical statements on the subject.
They want all about TE abolishing and with TE fonds to ptomote mk
Term limits
For Obama.
Tell trump he is refusing to sign
If you can't win Tim, it does not give you the right to lie and cheat
Trump2024❤️❤️❤️❤️
They’ll be saying Trump lied.
WHO is they🤣
❤ TRUMP 🎺 VANCE 🇺🇸 MAGA 🇺🇸 TEXAS
It seems like you don't really care about our country
Being honest here, but calling him Tampon Tim isn't probably helping swing votes
Tim Walz, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, has called for the electoral college system of electing US presidents to be abolished and replaced with a popular vote principle, as operates in most democracies.
His comments - to an audience of party fundraisers - chime with the sentiments of a majority of American voters but risk destabilising the campaign of Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, who has not adopted a position on the matter, despite having previously voiced similar views.
Why should the large cities in blue states decide who gets elected ?
It should be abolished. Then we would actually have a national debate and election. Now we essentially have people running for governor of 7 states. If you're a republican in California your vote should mean something. If you're a democrat in Texas your vote should mean something. The Electoral College is an anachronism.
It’s all the states. You’re focusing on 7 states because they’re all states with no clear preference for president and the way the remaining state’s preferences are makes these 7 states the tie-breakers. Ya putz.
That would strip away the incentive for politicians to appeal to less populated states
@@MrDavePed You are 100% correct.
@@j.t.8685 They would have to appeal to everyone nationwide. Every state has two senators. Do you support the tyranny of the minority?
Absolutely agree with Tim. The people should vote for the president not the GOP creation of state point system.
Does that include the people who died 100 years ago?
The supreme court should be comprised of more justices. There's a good reason for that. The appointment process is too politicized. The addition or loss of one single justice should not rock the political ship of state.
How to do it? Each party makes a list of 20 justices it would approve. They give that list to the opposing party from which six justices are chosen. So then a total of 12 additional justices are selected by the opposing parties.
There is another reason that 21 justices would be a good number. Wisdom would be better represented by a larger court. Many decisions which are now 5 to 4 would be refined and clarified by the additional insights.
If one or two are temporarily absent due to illness or recusal, there would still remain a solid ability to rule on important matters. Justices should automatically step down upon reaching the age of 84 years.
With these changes the supreme court will be better able to serve the people without changes being so disruptive to our executive branch. A wider boat is a more stable boat.

If it isn't broken, don't fix it
