"Wahhh! Dem coloreds would be electin' our President, in addition to knockin' up our pure white gals!"
Former Maine Gov. Paul LePage, the Trump-loving Republican who left office last year after serving two terms, has said that he opposes plans to abolish the electoral college on the grounds that doing so would harm white people.
Law and Crime reports that LePage appeared on right-wing talk radio station WVOM this week to denounce a bill currently under consideration in which states would instruct their electors to support the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote, not just the candidate who wins the most votes in their individual state.
LePage started out by arguing that such a move would harm smaller states but he then quickly pivoted to making an explicitly racist argument.
What would happen if they do what they say theyre gonna do, white people will not have anything to say, LePage complained. Its only going to be the minorities who would elect. It would be California, Texas, Florida.
