To guarantee the will of the people would decide who would govern us our Founding Fathers gave each state the right to apportion its Electoral College votes (ECVs) as it wished.
Democrats don’t really like this because it opens the door to changes that would give people more of a voice in the selection of our presidents. Throughout the last two hundred years,they have often relied on voter fraud to win presidential elections.
This is why they are gearing up to fight a new plan for awarding ECVs being considered in six states totally controlled by Republicans. Barack Obama won all six.
The plan calls for an ECV to be awarded to a candidate for each Congressional District he/she wins,thus ending the “winner take all” system which invites fraud in a few districts which is so rampant as to smother the honest votes throughout a state.
This “win the district,win the ECVs” system is entirely legal and is the mirror image (comparing honesty to corruption) of the Democrats’ plan to award ECVs of some states to the winner of the nationwide popular vote. Doing this would mean that California would not even have to bother counting its presidential votes. It could just wait until the results of ballot box stuffing operations in the northeastern states were complete and say,“Here’s our 55 ECVs” to the Democrat candidate.
How things would change.
If this system was in place last November,six states Obama won in spite of being completely controlled by Republicans could have awarded GOP candidate Mitt Romney enough additional ECVs to win by a narrow margin.
The state-by state-differences in Romney’s favor would have been as follows:In Florida +15; Ohio + 12;Michigan + 9;Wisconsin + 5;Virginia + 9 and Pennsylvania +12 for a grand total of 63 new ECVs and a final tally of 273 ECVs.
The chances of this plan being passed in these states are very real. For various reasons,each Republican governor would be eager to sign this clearly Constitutional change into law.
Under this plan the Democrats could continue to win big cities with 112% of the population voting Democrat but not come close to stealing the ECVs of states whose people want a Republican president. If we are ever to regain our freedom,passing this legislation is essential.
This is a great idea. I think we should also go back to paper ballots which would,by law have to be retained. No electronic voting,it's too easy for the seiu union punks to rig,as they did in past elections. Also voter id is VERY necessary. When I voted,I handed the lady my drivers license &she looked at me like she thought I was crazy. She handed it back &asked for name &address. I looked at her like I knew she was crazy &said,you mean if someone came in &gave my name &address you would let them vote. She just looked confused. If the "king"ever allows another election,we better have changes in effect.
