    So, all the votes in the state were tallied, and the candidate with the most got the Electoral seat, and we sent that person to Washington because it was too hard to count all the votes in a state and send someone with that information to Washington?

    Considering delegate votes in primaries consist of people raising hands and counting those weeks ahead of the actual election, then those people traveling to the centralized polling place and voting there the day of the election, and then the report of those votes going to D.C... It's not like they were loading up paper ballots into carts and taking those to D.C.

    I'm curious where you heard that reasoning?

    After studying the electoral college and the Constitution in general I was under the impression it was established mostly as a compromise between having congress elect the president and a popular vote by "qualified" citizens. From what I've read they didn't seem to think it would be that difficult to count votes.

    The ship could be righted quickly if we just repealed the 15th, 19th, and 26th amendments.

    It's not even that hard. All we really need are people who will be faithful to the Constitution.

    When the hollywood SAG is more outspoken that the elected D's they worship. I doubt it.

    Probably be easier to repeal those amendments I mentioned.

    I didn't say it wasn't a fantasy idea. But it would still work.
