Like fuck one person one vote. Doing away with the electoral college will be taking “rights” away from republicans and that would be unpatriotic. It would be akin to not belonging to a well regulated militia because you have mental issues but still are free to buy AR 15s because that’s exactly what it says in the constitution to those who oppose freedom. Get onboard the conservative conundrum choo choo train. Free passes complements of the heritage foundation.

No other country can understand why we don't go with the popular vote - the candidate chosen by the most people. And the Electoral College has let us down in my lifetime by sticking us with the least qualified presidents in our history who were not the choice of the people.
