Boxer Introduces Bill To Abolish The Electoral College

Tuesday, November 15, 2016

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) will introduce legislation when the Senate comes into session later today that would eliminate the Electoral College and determine the winner of presidential elections by the outcome of the popular vote.

Hillary Clinton currently leads the popular vote by nearly a million votes (990,758). By the time all the ballots are counted, the New York Times estimates that Clinton may win the popular vote by more than two million votes and more than 1.5 percentage points. Donald Trump will become the fifth President in U.S. history to lose the popular vote and still win the election.

"In my lifetime, I have seen two elections where the winner of the general election did not win the popular vote," said Senator Boxer. "When all the ballots are counted, Hillary Clinton will have won the popular vote by a margin that could exceed two million votes, and she is on track to have received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history except Barack Obama. This is the only office in the land where you can get more votes and still lose the presidency. The Electoral College is an outdated, undemocratic system that does not reflect our modern society, and it needs to change immediately. Every American should be guaranteed that their vote counts."
________________________________
Sorry, but I want my vote to count and the only way it would count is though the electoral college. Just because their candidate didn't win is no reason to fiddle around with the Constitution again. Being from Cali, her state and the rest of the West Coast, FL, NY and NJ would decide the election for the rest of the people. That is NOT fair and I think Barbara Boxer better get an education on the the electoral college. She's just another sore loser.

Mark Warner states it will never pass if it comes to the floor. so IMHO, she's just wasting time and blocking IMPORTANT legislation that needs to get done by the end of the year.

The people who support this don't understand why the founders - put this into our system of checks and balances.

Or they just don't care. Barbara Boxer should be ashamed of herself.

These rank and file leftists remind me of the old hippies driving around in their flower power Volkswagons preaching peace and love. They don't realize the car's Nazi history. I always got a kick out of that.

Hey liberals, why don't we just get rid of the states? - This is essentially what would happen.

The big states will nullify the smaller states.

I am not kidding. I actually read an article by a "Deep Thinker" who seems to have answer to "solve" our ills because of the election of someone he disapproves of.

Essentially this would do away with the 10th Amendment and remove all limits to federal powers. But many people aren’t as stupid as this requires....

state is red. For instance, I feel sorry for people in Northern NY. They never are represented in federal elections.

So much for the oathe to uphold the constitution. This only serves to prove - that Boxer is not smart enough

and not educated enough to be in any elected position to make decisions for this country or anything else.

This will take a constitutional amendment. Good luck with that. She needs 2/3 of the votes to send this out to the states, which would need 3/4 to approve.

Maybe someone can send her a copy of a 7th grade Civics book.

This is assuming we are still a nation of laws.

We should inundate her with calls to repeal Obamacare. - Now that I think about, we should

do that anyway with all members of Congress!

Tell them we want a budget bill repealing Obamacare and also to end Obama's lawless bailouts and subsidies

Ask Congress to repeal Obamacare!

The Electoral College is due to meet Monday, when the electors chosen on Nov. 8 will establish Donald Trump as the winner. Then Democrats’ efforts to steal the election will finally come to an end — right? Don’t bet on it.

I see no purpose to the electoral college if we the people vote. It nearly cancels out the largest majority for whatever candidate wins. They have to have enough electoral votes. What I don't understand is does the one with the most electoral votes win even if they didn't get the most actual votes from the people? I say we need to do away with that and super packs and all else that causes one to buy an election. I think we should go back to paper ballots too. I am sick to death o ...

Please pray that Clinton does not get more electoral votes than Trump or we don't have a president even if he gets the general votes from we the people.

I signed both of my boys up today for classes at the community college. Thank goodness I have a Pell grant for both of them that pays most of their tuition because books for 6 classes cost $800!!!!! Yes I said 800, that was not a typo for only six classes. Luckily, the 7th class my son already had the book from his previous calc class and they are using the same book this semester. I could not believe that they told me that one of the books I could buy a new one for $157 ...

First, it would be means-tested. No assistance would be offered to families who don't need it, and for those eligible for assistance, the amount would be based on the level of need. Families at the poverty level would receive the greatest assistance and the amount would decrease as the family income level increases until hitting the "wealthy"cutoff of no assistance. Second, assistance would be based on the residual need AFTER taking into account scholarships or grants, if ...

Hello all - my daughter will be starting college in the fall and we are in the process of trying to find financial aid. Does anyone have info on how to get grants? Is there usually a family income max that would allow/disallow anyone from getting a grant? I know I will need to talk to the college's financial aid office but any info that can be passed along would be appreciated. We already completed the FAFSA and my daughter got a small loan through that, but she was not awarded any gran ...

I don't come on here very often but wanted to acknowledge that I saw your replies below. I have completed the FAFSA and my daughter was able to get a very small unsubsidized loan, but not even enough to cover one semester. I will try the suggestion of the forum. My daughter will be going to a university and the realization of how much money this is going to cost is overwhelming... and then to think that all that money will be spent and she may not even be able to get ...
