So they can vote for representatives, but not on tax issues for creating laws that segregate this species into conflicting interpretations to how evolving works naturally here.Blue Devil » 29 Apr 2023, 5:30 pm » wrote: ↑ I’d limit it to federal employees and welfare recipients. They’re voting to give themselves more money.
If one interprets this Country's Constitution that was ratified in Sept of 1789 that is instinctively exactly how a society would protect each ancestor from organized doubt Old World Civilization was always creating, The concept of New World Order was reverting to natural time displaced, not protecting old world human traditions pretending now isn't eternity that divides this species inside out of each generation gap added froward here.

This extra layer of voter security would automatically wipe many lazy people out of the vote.
So, this is offensive to the sedentary and stupid.
It will not be instituted without a last gasp from their enablers.
ps ANYONE working in a governmental capacity should be excluded from voting 100%.
This wolf pack need not support themselves any more than they already do.

We need the electoral college. Mob rule would help the dimocrats destroy this country at warp speed.
The founding fathers had the foresight to see that pandering to the lowest common denominator would create a one party country -The Dimocrat party.
We do not want the immoral sodomites and degenerates of California, New York and Chicago choosing our president every 4 years. **** that nonsense!!

The remainder of this essay outlines why it is crucial to abolish the Electoral College.The original rationale for the Electoral CollegeThe framers of the Constitution set up the Electoral College for a number of different reasons. According to Alexander Hamilton in Federalist Paper Number 68, the body was a compromise at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia between large and small states.
Many of the latter worried that states such as Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia would dominate the presidency so they devised an institution where each state had Electoral College votes in proportion to the number of its senators and House members.
The former advantaged small states since each state had two senators regardless of its size, while the latter aided large states because the number of House members was based on the state’s population.
In addition, there was considerable discussion regarding whether Congress or state legislatures should choose the chief executive. Those wanting a stronger national government tended to favor Congress, while states’ rights adherents preferred state legislatures. In the end, there was a compromise establishing an independent group chosen by the states with the power to choose the president.

Like you do your social identity. Wild fires burn in circles from their source and usually follow the wind to favor going in any one direction than expanding up wind creating a path of destruction.

Had they ran perpendicular they could eventually get out of the way off the current the wild fire takes path of least resistance, down wind.

"Income inequality" is an EXCUSE?? So giving POOR PEOPLE a greater voice in smaller states with the Electoral College is a "reason" to get rid of it??
