The Electoral College: What goes around comes around.

The Electoral College failed us because The Republicans rigged it. Rig a few states and you can win the election without winning the popular vote.

Now they may lose the Electoral College system and how they rig the game.

That would take a change in the constitution which requires 2/3rds of the House and Senate or 2/3rd of the states legislatures.

What we need is Dems to move out to the states that are reliably RED.

Otherwise the GOP will have the house and senate much more than the Dems.

I guess you can stay where you are and complain.
