WaPo is peddling this narrative? They must assume Joe Six-pack doesn't realize this would take a 2/3 majority for a constitutional amendment. Chances of this happening are nil.

I can't wait for the SCOTUS rulings that is going to make every Liberal Cry.

Trump's admin is waiting until just months away to hit SCOTUS with cases that will
1)Purge the roles
2)Require a Federal Photo ID
3)Rule that Popular votes are unconstitutional.

In the meantime over the next 29 months, we're going to see More voter fraud indictments from 2016 and 2018.

Yes. Just watch the riots in the streets of California and NY when a Republican wins the popular vote and those chumps have to hand over all their EC delegates to the GOP slate.


Yeah when Bush won the popular vote for his second term, the democrat left dropped any talk of the evil "Electoral college" for over a decade.

I suspect the same thing will happen here.

I’m not sure if it’s unconstitutional to do it the way they’re doing it. But it might be if you consider that an entire state full of voters could be effectively disenfranchised if the state voters go for one candidate and the electoral votes go to the other candidate. It would defeat the entire purpose of state representation.

It would indeed be ironic if California Leftists have to take their own law to court to overturn it when the electoral votes from California are cast for Trump in 2020.

Here’s why I think Trump will win the popular vote.
1)the never trumpers numbers have dwindled to a tiny fraction of conservatives.
2)a lot of independents are happy with the direction of the country and don’t want change.
3)a lot of blacks are re-evaluating their Democrat voting and asking themselves why they keep voting that way, when they’ve done better under a POTUS everyone called racist than under a black President. If Dems lose 25% of the black vote, they’re finished.
4)Hispanics are swinging gradually towards Trump. He’s not the boogeyman they were led to believe, and he wants to keep out the riff raff from Central American shit holes. Mexicans don’t like those people either, and Cubans are solidly in Camp Trump.

If the black and hispanic vote shift even as slight as it did in Florida for DeSantis, Trump will win by about 2 million votes. That's not even counting the never trumpers within the conservative party.

It is because there is no such thing as the Popular vote, in America's Presidential election system.

Your State is only a Minority of the Overall vote regardless how big or small your population is. Our Constitution stipulates that the Electoral College consists of 538 electors, your State only has the say in the electoral votes they represent to the 538 votes. The Popular vote does not factor into that race.

An Activist Robe Hack Obama appointed wont see it that way, but that's what SCOTUS will rule.

Less it's really time for the second Revolution.

American Patriots will refuse to live under Liberal Mob Rule. Where Texas, California, New York, and Florida, POC Liberals chooses our President every election.

You realize a President could get every State but because the biggest counties in just 4 States has the biggest population in America.
The Liberals would still win the popular vote.

All those things aside, when you have so many problems with recounts in just one state that leave the outcome uncertain for a couple of months or more, can you imagine the nightmare of a national recount that would leave the government with no leadership for half a year as almost happened in 2000 because of just one state?
