Though written in good faith by our Founding Fathers to protect the people of America, the Electoral College has proven over time to be more of a detriment to the nation’s welfare. And never has that statement been more true than now.
It was this Constitutional mechanism that allowed a dangerous tyrant like Donald Trump to take office and the Electoral College reinforced Trump’s position a month later, when it was already clear the 2016 presidential campaign and election had the signs of blatant corruption - which the Electoral College was created to avoid/destroy.
In a very short video on Twitter by Robert Reich, the political commentator, author and professor, who served under three presidents, gives one of the most compelling arguments on why we need to abolish the Electoral College - and how it can be done in an unconventional way.
Abolishing a Constitutional Amendment can be extremely daunting and difficult. But Reich says this brilliant method can work and it’s already getting traction in 10 states.
Watch here:
Americans are eager to find a way—any way to avoid another election nightmare that we witnessed on November 8, 2016. This sounds like one way. Thank you, Robert Reich.
