🤔But Do You Know Why?
I WILL Answer Both
"WHAT & WHY?"
Democrats Want To DESTROY
📜THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

😳👉🏽THEY FLUNKED Civics.

UReady?
1. Go Grab a Notepad & Pen🖊️
🍿& Popcorn

2. I've been urged into explaining The Electoral College vs. The Popular Vote Provision of Our US Constitution & The Reasoning Behind This System
(US Constitution Article 2, Sec1, Clause 3 & the 12th Amendment). law.cornell.edu/constitution/a…

3. Closely analyzed, WITHOUT bias or political party thinking, I will show the brilliance of the peopel we call The Founding Fathers in establishing "
the Electoral College" a type of voting system we use for selecting our president.

4. 🇺🇸🦅"The President of The United States of America"🦅🇺🇸
It is for that ONE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT POSITION ONLY,
because it is the ONLY government job for which WE hire someone with a nation wide election.

5. We must remind ourselves, that WHEN these men met to draft our constitution, THERE WAS NO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, only individual states with their individual laws. usconstitution.net/consttop_drft.…

6. Writing a Constitution was part of the process of
forming the Federal government.
It was done in order to (by Constitutional law) set the powers the states were willing to allow the Federal Government to have ...

7. ...and the ones they would retain, and to protect the rights of the people which could "not be infringed upon" by either state or federal governments. loc.gov/exhibits/creat…

8. The Original Proposal Was to Have The Two Branches of Congress, TOGETHER, elect the president.

However, it was NOT adopted because that would mean
👉🏽States Would Concede Power to the Federal Government👈🏽
in order to elect the president.

9. It being the ONLY elected position in Federal Govt representing ALL Americans, states rightfully & successfully argued they would have NO voice in electing the president, & initiated the process at state & local levels by choosing "electors" from ea state to vote 4president.

10. Well known leading citizens were chosen (originally by state legislatures-now by the voters) for the special purpose of selecting the president.

archives.gov/federal-regist…

11. The 'electors' would assemble & cast the votes 'allotted' to that state.
The number of 'votes allotted' were the state’s number of Representatives & Senators combined.

12. Their model for this was the very structure of the Constitutional Convention itself, where each state had a 'number of delegates' representing that state. history.com/this-day-in-hi…

13. Even though it does NOT function EXACTLY as Founders originally intended, the Electoral College remains today an essential Constitutional safeguard of NOT ONLY American Individual Liberty, but of the liberty of the states FROM the Federal Government. ushistory.org/gov/3a.asp

14. As stated, each state is allotted as many electoral votes as it has senators & mbrs of the House of Representatives.

To become president of the United States of America,
a person MUST, even today, win the national election state by state. politico.com/2016-election/…

15. We speak of “the presidential election” when, incl Washington DC,
*there's actually 51 separate elections for president.

The US is a nation of 50 separate & sovereign states.
The Electoral College gives YOUR state a voice in electing the president.
theguardian.com/world/2014/sep…

16. There is much talk to ELIMINATE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE & elect president by popular vote. One group is headed up by Eric Holder w/the financial support of MANY Liberal Progressives, many running for president in 2020, and they ARE determined to do it. petitions.moveon.org/sign/abolish-t…

17. If successful, it would "FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA" and to the the office of the President.

18. The person elected would become president elected by ONLY the big cities of America (like Liberal NY, Ca, Illinois) & would mark THE LAST trace of independent self gov GUARANTEED to the individual states by the Constitution’s Electoral College System & would be LOST forever.

19. Imagine.. Who Do You Think Would Win EVERY Election?
We MUST preserve & protect the Electoral College at any cost.

Let me give you an example of what COULD, & WOULD IN FACT have happened on Nov 8, 2016 if we had a National Popular Election instead of the Electoral College.

20. This, I hope, will help everyone understand the true wisdom of the writers of our constitution.

These numbers are from the official vote count records
tabulated from EVERY voting precinct in America.
transition.fec.gov/pubrec/fe2016/…

21. The Total Popular Vote Count Shows:
👉🏽@realDonaldTrump WON The Popular Vote in 30 states👈🏽
👉🏽Hillary WON The Popular Vote in 20 states +DC👈🏽

The Total Count For ALL States
Trump 62,979,879
Clinton 65,844,954
👇🏽The Difference is
Clinton Winning by 2,865,075

But WAIT..

22. However, totaling ALL states 👉🏽EXCLUDING California👈🏽
@realDonaldTrump WON The Popular Vote.

In California, The Actual Vote Count Was...

Clinton - 8,753,788
Trump - 4,483,810

But There's More...

23. Now, DEDUCT Clinton’s California Vote From Her National Vote
65,844,954
– 8,753,788
=57,091,166

Let's Also Deduct Trump’s California Vote From His National Vote
62,979,879
– 4,483,810
= 58,496,069

The Difference 👉🏽Trump Wins by 1,404,903👈🏽

Which Means...

24. ..In effect, Clinton Was Elected
😳"President of California"

Donald Trump was elected
😎"President of The Rest of The Country"
by a SUBSTANTIAL Margin!

👆🏽This is the finest example of the Wisdom of
The Electoral College of Electing the US President.

25. It PREVENTS the vote of any single densely populated state from
OVERRIDING votes of EVERY OTHER STATE
🤔Ask
“Do I Really Want JUST California, or Any Other State
Elect a President 4the Rest of US?”😳

Without the Electoral College its EXACTLY What Happens
