When Al Gore lost the 2000 Electoral College vote but won the popular vote, democrats started screaming the EC needed to be abolished. They took a break from this hysteria when Obama won the EC twice, but were back on the freakout train in 2016 when Trump won the EC but lost the popular vote. Now that they think Joe Biden is the next POTUS, they are trying to rig our election process so they never lose power with a wishlist of packing the Supreme Court, expanding the Senate, and abolishing the Electoral College.
Abolishing the Electoral Colleg would mean that California alone would decide the winner of every presidential election. No other state would matter. Not surprising, California democrat Rep. Ted Lieu wants his state to replace the United States:
This presidential election between @JoeBiden and @realDonaldTrump was not close. The only reason it feels close is because of the undemocratic, antiquated electoral college. https://t.co/7BQfQNqDqT

Well, we’re not a democracy, we’re a Constitutional Republic, so there’s that. And as for the representation in our collection of states, that are united by the Constitution, the Electoral College and the House of Representatives gives representation based on a state’s population. That is to say, it is a fair distribution of representation of the people.
Should the Electoral College be abolished in favor of the popular vote in choosing the president, 290 million Americans would have no say in that process.
As you can see by the map Terrible Ted tweeted, California is deep blue while other states that went to the democrat are only light blue. California went 64.1% for Joe Biden. That translates into a nearly 5 million vote advantage for Biden in just one state. Not coincidentally, the margin in the nationwide popular vote is also about 5 million for Biden.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by around 3 million and she carried California with about 3 million more votes than Trump. Are you starting to see a pattern?
Even in populous blue states like Illinois and New York, the numbers weren’t this lopsided. The same can be said for populous red states like Texas and Florida.
The numbers don’t lie: If democrats eliminate the Electoral College, whacko liberal California decides the presidential elections and the democrat will win every time.
This is something I think even some democrats in the rest of the country wold be against. California is only popular in California. The rest of the country views the state for what it is: a mismanaged liberal shithole, devoid of morals, values, and commonsense.
A better course of action would be for the 49 other states to vote on whether California should be kicked out of the Union or not. I suspect that would be a pretty lopsided vote as well and we’d have to change the number of stars on the flag. Either that or take a chunk of Canada to make the new 50th state Hoservania.
The United Staes is named so because we really are a collection of states, united. The states give power to the central government, not the other way around. If the Electoral College is abolished, California would become the central government and control the entire country, which is as horrible as it sounds.
