‘end run around the Constitution’
The Massachusetts Legislature has approved a new law intended to bypass the Electoral College system and ensure that the winner of the presidential election is determined by the national popular vote. [...]
nitwit:
[... Senate minority leader Richard] Tisei also criticized the proponents for not following the normal procedures to seek a constitutional amendment.
“The thing about this that bothers me the most is it’s so sneaky. This is the way that liberals do things a lot of times, very sneaky,” he said. “This is sort of an end run around the Constitution.” [...]
no amendment required, asshole. and regardless of the merit of the “electors” system, it was already gutted by many (if not all) states via “law” to force electors to follow the state’s popular vote. given that the constitution blows, i’m going to laugh if enough states pass similar “laws” to kill the electors system entirely, using the hallowed goonited state_ constitution. it’s a mild (very) “fuck you” to the emerging soviet state, and doesn’t change the looming destruction of the empire.
the plan:
[...] Under the law, which was enacted by the House last week, all 12 of the state’s electoral votes would be awarded to the candidate who receives the most votes nationally.
Supporters are campaigning, state by state, to get such bills enacted. Once states possessing a majority of the electoral votes (or 270 of 538) have enacted the laws, the candidate winning the most votes nationally would be assured a majority of the Electoral College votes, no matter how the other states vote and how their electoral votes are distributed.
Illinois, New Jersey, Hawaii, Maryland, and Washington have already approved the legislation, according to the National Popular Vote campaign’s website. [...]
anyone doubting that the “electoral college” was pummeled long ago, study the standard practice of announcing, the day after the election, which goon “won” — a technical impossibility under the system presumed by “the founders”. against general delusion, the imperial communal toilet rag doesn’t even require a popular vote for president. oh my.
