They talk about people&#8217;s voices being heard via the ballot as they wrongly call the US a democracy. The very reason we have the EC is to ensure Americans in middle America have a say in the election, otherwise the major cities on both coasts will decide the entire nations future. Many have contended 6 states (New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois, California and Texas) could literally decide an election, while genius in its conception mob rule exists at the <a href=\"http:\/\/savingtherepublic.com\/blog\/2016\/11\/electoral-college-absolutely-brilliant-nationally-mob-rule-remains-state-level\/\">state level<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H6Ueo1OUkUQ?rel=0\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the rarest form democracy = mob rule.

Frankly they&#8217;re so butthurt over Felonious Van Pantsuit losing they want to change the rules, and allow ANYONE (criminals to illegals) to vote. Dems can&#8217;t win fair and square; they&#8217;re like the little SOB&#8221;s on playground who change the rules in the middle of the game because they&#8217;re losing! That&#8217;s right, democrats act like children when they don&#8217;t get their way. <\/p>\n<p>They want the people to have a voice in the election&#8230;. the people who agree with their agenda. Those of us who are for freedom and the rule of law stand in their way, thus why they&#8217;re desperate for power to change the laws to in fact fundamentally transform the United States of America as their messiah, obama, promised 11 yrs ago!<\/p>\n<p>Everyone needs to heed Lindsey Grahams warning during the Kavanaugh hearing.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FO8GvRpr0Ms?start=94&amp;end=98\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add Dem Sen Jeff Merkley to the growing list of democrats who are calling to abolish the Electoral College.
