The electoral college needs to go; it's an archaic vestige of antebellum America whose counterpart is completely unknown in any developed nation on the globe.

Let's be real. Republicans don't want everyone to vote. They win when fewer vote.

They win because the Electoral College is a ridiculous byzantine way to determine a president

That is the most idiotic thing I think you have ever posted.
That is exactly why the electoral college is there.

Yet...the USA became the most powerful country on the planet...EVER...with that archaic system.

quote:No one minded vote by mail until liberals started playing VERY fast and loose with timing and even with sourcing.
If you are registered to vote and your signature matches your ballot, why does it matter? The entire state of Utah (and others) vote by mail. Do you think that's a bad idea? Funny how conservatives used to love vote by mail until they realized that making it easier for all to vote (legally!) would harm them.
I don't mind getting a vote by mail from SBBruin. I mind getting 3,000 votes by mail mailed from SBBruin's house.

I didn’t realize we should do what other countries do.
The electoral college protects minority interests and is the heart of our representative republic. We are not a democracy at a national level and never intended to be so. The reason you see more democracy the closer your elected officials are to you is because the founders knew they were easier to say “frick you” to which they wanted. It is a brilliant system that is the best in the world, in which, created the world’s largest economy.

Since many states changed their election laws (illegally literally days before the election) to not verify signature matches then anyone can vote for anyone else and it would count.
It would make it ripe for election fraud.. That was already proven in 2020.

Make election day a holiday. Let everyone register and vote however they want, early, in person, by mail. Have non partisan election officials certify - like we do today!
Same day registration is a non starter for me, as in mail in voting, unless it follows the absentee rules. Also add in a valid ID. Amend the quoted statement to include these things, and I’m in.

Other than being a popular Trumpist accusation, nothing of the sort was ever proved. In fact, 61 of 62 lawsuits challenging the results of the election were summarily thrown out for being frivolous

I agree. ID is totally reasonable to verify/certify. If we make IDs free (not needing to pay at the DMV to get one). If that's the case, I'm in too

Same day registration is a farce. Explain to me why it’s a good idea.

Saying it don't make it so. Name one proven case of wide-spread voter fraud in 2020. Not talking about the random Trump supporter voting illegally LINK
Anyone who thinks retard turnip Biden was legitimately elected is a liar or a retard. Which one are you?
A majority of Americans do not have faith in the current system. We need to make elections more secure. Ban electronic voting, ban absentee ballots, ban same day voter registration/voting, and other things prone to fraud, vote buying, and ballot harvesting.

Besides name calling, can you actually cite one legit source /reason that he was not legally elected? All I hear from people like you are ad hominem attacks but as they say in Texas, 'all hat, no cattle.' I can name call too but come here trying to learn and engage... come on man, debate, cite some sources, bring your best argument to convince me that he truly won the election.
