Hillary Clinton Renews Call For Abolition Of US Electoral College by prof2007: 11:32pm On Dec 14, 2020
Former U.S. First Lady and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, on Monday renewed her call for abolition of the country’s Electoral College. She made the call in a tweet shortly after voting as an elector alongside her husband and former President Bill Clinton in New York.

“I believe we should abolish the Electoral College and select our president by the winner of the popular vote, same as every other office. But while it still exists, I was proud to cast my vote in New York for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” the tweet reads.

Hilary lost the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump in spite of winning the popular votes. Trump was elected after securing 304 electoral vote to Clinton’s 227.

The Clintons were joined by Gov. Andrew Cuomo alongside 26 other electors on Monday who formerly sealed Biden’s victory in the Nov. 3 election in New York.

The U.S. Electoral College is a group of 538 presidential electors who converge in state capitals every December of an election year to ratify the election of the President and the Vice President following the recently concluded general polls on Nov. 3. The number of electors in each state is equivalent to the number seats in state’s legislature.

A candidate requires an absolute majority of 270 electoral votes to win the election. But if no candidate secures the 270 votes, Congress holds a contingent election to pick the president and Vice President. Biden’s election is expected to be ratified in the Electoral College held in all state capitals on Monday following the Nov. 3 general polls.

The former Vice President is projected to receive 306 electoral votes to be secured against Trump’s 232 electoral votes who is still contesting the election results.

THE STORM IS COMING!

BIDEN IS GOING TO JAIL



Bill Barr is complicit with the Dominion machine financial scandal and Trump is definitely going to move to prosecute everyone involved hence Bill Barr would be a hinderance so Bill had to tender his resignation.

Serving American military Generals confirmed the Special Forces operations in Frankfurt where 2 American soldiers died to secure the Server.

Former CIA director is under house arrest by the military.

General Michael Flynn said in the DC rally ‘Trump will lose the battles but win the war’

Omo, if that happens, the Republicans will never smell the Presidency again because they are obviously outnumbered, and the margins would keep getting wider because American society has more liberals than conservatives. Republicans hardly win the popular vote, it's the electoral college system that gives them a shot at the Presidency. Rednecks and their racist counterparts no go gree o.

No. Though I'm not a republican but Electoral college is one of the checks and balances needed.

Imagine we have electoral college in Nigeria. Kaduna, Kano and katsina will have a fixed number of electoral college votes even if they continue to use under age kids and encouraging overpopulation dey born like rabbit.

With popular votes, the Northern political house will continue. That's their strategy. Popular votes.

Infact Maybe local government can be our own electoral college. Lagos has 37. Katsina has 34. Make we dey count am like that.
