Strange that there's been nothing in the news about
this. It comes up from time to time, but there's a reason we have an
electoral college. It gives the rural areas and small towns and states
some representation. Otherwise, the big cities would carry all the
weight.

Good historical comment, Judi! This is a lot of what humans create
behind the political economic history of the world. Get the rulers as
far from the proletariat as possible and then you, obama, Reid, Pelosi,
and their ilk can do what they darn please. Very much like Hitler,
Mussolini, Stalin, Putin, Chavez, Castro move in politics. To bring us
fat cat Americans down so that we can't consume so much of the world's
resurces or keep our thermostats at 72 in the winter. That is his
American Dream and that of his family-deserting well-spoken father,
although, being best at lying consistently. Sr. would be so proud of
younger barrack hussein obama. We should all live in shacks like the
rest of the world! Most of our young, rock and rolling rappers, do what
makes you happy crowd cares less.

Democrats Conspiring to Rig Electoral College, Law Passed in 9 States So Far
15 April 2014 / 20 Comments
A plan, now stealthily making its way through state
legislatures with astonishing speed, would junk the Electoral College and award
the presidency to the winner of the popular vote.
The plan involves an Interstate Compact where states would
commit to select electors pledged to vote for the national popular vote winner
regardless of how their own state voted. When enough states pass this law,
sufficient to cast 270 votes which is the majority of the Electoral College, it
will take effect.
The Electoral College will become a vestigial
anachronism.
So far, nine states and the District of Columbia, casting
136 electoral votes, have joined. This is halfway to the 270 needed to put the
compact into effect. The ratifying states are: Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois,
Hawaii, Washington, Massachusetts, the District of Columbia, Vermont,
California, and Rhode Island.
Both houses in New York have passed it and it’s on Gov.
Andrew Cuomo’s desk.
It has already passed in the House in Arkansas, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, and
Oregon. These states, plus New York, represent 107 votes. Combined with the
others they are up to 242 votes. They need 270.
Who is pushing this?
All of those ratifying voted for Obama.
