‘Ticking Time Bomb’ For Democracy: Chris On Why The Electoral College Needs To Go | All In | MSNBC
100% agree. Time to go.
see above
I might enjoy watching you try to change it.
Coups are illegal just because they fail. Trump needs to be held to account.
@Parth Sharma … I think it’s easy to understand why some people worried about a coup… exactly how people were concerned about Gore challenging the election results when he did

@It is what It is I understand that. However fraud should be rooted out no matter how small. When Biden gets inaugurated this chapter will be closed. It won’t resort to violence
@Parth Sharma … absolutely, fraud is wrong on every level. No matter if it’s the Democrats or when the Republicans do it… I’m not clear on the violence part of your comment but hopefully there won’t be any.
@Parth Sharma: “there’s been over 200K cases of voter fraud alleged so far” Source?
Never trust a president who wears Jim Bakker’s haircut and Tammy Faye’s makeup.
LOL..LOVE IT!!!
@Kevin Bedard keep up with your lies

In 2016 several electors defected from Hillary and voted Trump…
Their Argument was that they could vote for whomever they choose… Smh.
You vote for the people, not out of your own interests
That wasn’t their argument but whatever
actually they defected from Trump and voted Hillary, but who’s counting…
Republicans know they can’t win fairly, so they prevent any Democratic reforms. Tyranny is the Republican brand!
So true a statement . So TRUE STATEMENT.
@Parth Sharma Votes are not coin flips. There’s not a 50/50 chance of each vote in a given county being for either Biden or Trump. Wayne County, MI, for example, went 68.5% for Biden. And when you’re looking specifically at the mail-in ballots, those would be even more likely to be Biden votes, since Democrats were statistically far more likely to vote by mail this year and Republicans were far more likely to vote in person.
@RedXlV ok, it’s not 50/50. So even still, do (7/10)^139000. That’s the probability of pulling every single ballot for biden. Mind you, not 1 was for trump. Not 1 of 139000.
That’s working retroactively w the data given. Seriously, you can’t look at 139000 and legitimately believe not 1 was for Trump, especially pulling from a random sample
Mail in ballot or no, yeah they lean heavily Democratic. So make it (9.5/10)^139000 and tell me the probability of it being every vote for biden
They’ve even gone as far as to abandon federalism and states rights. Well they were always long on hypocrisy and short of Integrity.
@Parth Sharma You reckon its worse than what you have now? insane people, people being evicted, not being able to provide for families?
The Election Result is the Voice from the People… “TRUMP YOU ARE OUT!”
Your fired. Biden is a better man than you.
The GOP is nothing without the electoral college and they know it. Change my mind
Without the electoral college, the Republican Party would have to actually appeal to the majority of Americans if they want to win elections. And they know they can’t do that.
@garyoa1 Sooo your saying imaginary borders should over-rule the majority???
@garyoa1 PS we have NEVER been 50 different countries. Stop trying to inflate us to something similar to the EU please.
@Amor Phix Really? What were they.

Trump has two parts of a brain ‘left and right’
In the Left there’s nothing right
And in the right there’s nothing Left.
Yes
Yea agree its seems really unfair and complicated we have simpler system here popular vote wins good luck America
But how do they actually count the votes? Majority, plurality, ranked, or what?
@Stratelier The candidate who gains the most votes wins. No Electoral College. If anybody tried to introduce an Electoral College system, there would be an outcry. No Party would ever attempt to introduce such an undemocratic idea. Every County has 1 or 2 members of Government, depending on it’s population. Members belong to one of 5 Parties but the majority represent the three most popular. The party which gains the most seats forms the Parliament. It’s very fair.
In the last 30 years, the repubs have won the presidential popular vote only once but yet have had three presidents elected by the electoral college…
Three? G.W.Bush and D.Trump make two, if I can count.

@Jasmany Foch I hope you’re being sarcastic. trump and the republicans have been doing their best to turn this into a shithole country. As somebody who has spent many years living abroad in Europe and Asia, I can see how many things people in many countries take for granted what we can only dream of here.
To paraphrase one of trump’s campaign slogans – “Lock him up, lock him up, lock him up!”
@dodo whiny liberals are hypersensitive, irrational people who can’t stand to have their world views challenged, or be offended in any perceived or even slightest of ways; they will have any number of emotional reactions: impuning character and/or motives, crying, temper tantrums, blocking on social media, shouting, hissy fits, interrupting, threatening, assaulting, etc. they often live in an echo chamber of their own beliefs and surround themselves exclusively with people and opinions that agree with their own…an overly sensitive whiny person who makes a scene when it doesn’t get his/her way and blames everyone but his/herself. the little crybaby liberal who’s mother should’ve spanked him/her as a child. WAAAAAAAAW WAAAAAW

@Ben Carson Fox News projects Biden wins presidency, Trump denied second term in White House,
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-wins-presidency-trump-fox-news-projects
Trump should be held accountable for trying to steal the election.
@william harlow another delusional Trumper. YOU people are clearly the danger to democracy, America and the world. I’m still waiting for Hunter Biden’s laptop evidence to come out. Waiting. Waiting…Waiting……
@leo lupo that’s all trump has fake votes

@adam therolf you may be five years old and not understand much ,,,,,, how stupid can you be
True jail and accountable for the covid 19 deaths he put on the American people. Trump is nothing but a MURDERER.
It was a coup. He’s been aiming at that from the start. He and his kids should not be allowed to run for any office ever.
Trump hasn’t even tried to hide his intent. A confession wouldn’t change anything. This whole attempted coup is fueled by Trumps enablers.
Neither should some of those republicans like starting with Cruz.

Colorado just voted to go with the popular vote and not the electoral college, but a certain amount of other states need to agree before it works.
What does that mean?you mean for trump?
When push comes to shove, do you really think that New York and California are going to go against the verdict of their own people and give their electoral votes to a Republican candidate? Even if enough states agree, the thing is not credible, and it could lead to a crisis.
Americans need to start a petition to abolish the electoral college. Elected officials of this are not going to do it they are too busy being demacrates and republicans and are not interested to do what is best for America. Frankly I’m tired of both partys.
@PATTY PERRY Look up “NPVIC” sometime.

I don’t hate the man, he’s just a Gemini. Oh, Donald, Mr Vance would like to speak with you before you leave for Moscow; and bring Rudy with ya
Did you know that Trump, Pence, Barr, Giuliani, and Newt Gingrich are all Gemini as are Laura Ingraham and Jeanine Piro? The sign’s inborn duality makes lying natural.
The meltdown of the Don should embarrass all of us…his toddler like refusal to accept that he lost and his lack of dignity in defeat…is a national humiliation. : (
He knows no shame. Trump is desperately in survival mode. Never had any qualities required in a leader.
I am not ashamed to watch a corrupt politician fight like a wild dog when he’s been cornered.
My vote for Biden in AZ really counted. Only the third time in my life I have voted.
Thank you! Think of it as a gift to John Mcain who was insulted by this crook. Well done!! I’m sure J Mcain would be happy and proud of you.
@M Mans agreed!
Thank You!
Thank You!! Every vote counts!! That has never been more true than in this election.
This is about the integrity of the election … regardless of party, criminals need to be held to account …
I agree and Trump will hopefully go to prison. Glad you agree.
Rump is going to pardon all his crooked buddies, family, and himself.
@Frank RenewablesCheap is he allowed to pardon for crimes that haven’t been charged yet? I don’t understand what he thinks he’s doing?
babeMinzgirlsszz.space
@It is what It is Yes, unfortunately

Georgia, so many real problems exist in our system of government. You however, Georgia, have the power to give Biden’s administration the ability to fix all of them. Vote Warnock and Ossoff in January. You will make the difference.
Agree with everything Chris said, with one small correction. WHITE women couldn’t vote until 100 years ago. Black women had to wait over 50 years after white women.
