Twice, in 20 years, we've been saddled with POTUSes who didn't win the popular vote, and went on to be two of the WORST POTUSES EVER.

Fuck the electoral college once and for all.

The original purpose is long since gone, and was never fair to begin with.

Thinking of how things 'might' have turned out makes me weep.

Stronger safeguards in our elections, free ID, every state with vote by mail option, every state with a paper ballot trail.

If the so-called originalists (who are really neo-feudalists) on the Court rule in any way that constrains the Electors, it will be a tell that they aren't really all that caring of the Founders' intent.

The danger for the neo-feudalists on the Bench lies in delegitimizing the College.

If we allow a few people -a minority of the country unrespresetnavie of it as a whole, to circumvent the whole process then WTFs the point??

state. Since electors tend to be public officials, let's say in my state of Florida, Biden, or Sanders or Warren won the majority in the state, thereby taking Florida's electoral votes. But say the national electoral totals are close, with the Democrat having 273 electoral votes, enough to take the presidency. Now back to Florida, let's say a handful of republicans realize that going against the wish of the majority of voters of their state, they can hand an electoral victory to Trump by taking away some Florida electoral votes from the Democrat.

The idea of having electors vote against the wishes of the majority of their state voters came up after President Obama beat McCain and Romney. It was a tool that would allow republicans in states where republicans control the Legistlature to deny a Democrat an electoral victory,

It is a very dangerous idea that goes against the majority rule credo of our nation, even after taking into account how that credo has been abused at times during the past.

I hope that the Court trash the idea and rule that electors are bound by the will of the majority of voters in their state (or in the cases of Vermont and Nebraska, the section of the state that sent them to the electoral college).

I would like to see the electoral college eliminated and elections decided on the popular vote, but this attempt at change doesn't do that, what it does do is give republicans one more way to steal elections for President.
