WHAAAAAT???

In challenges to the Electoral College, many have questioned whether less populous states like Wyoming, Montana and others should have as much representation, and thus power, in the Senate as more populous states. Every state has two representatives in the Senate.

The electoral college applies only to the election of the President. How does this have anything whatsoever to do with the electoral college?

Somebody should remind these dweebs that the original Constitution didn't have a popular vote for senators. Originally, senators were elected by the respective state legislatures.

You can't remind someone of something they never bothered to know in the first place.

If anything, that graphic conveys the opposite of what that guy wants you to be sympathetic to. It shows one state to rule them all, one state to find them. One state to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Were I King, I would mandate two things:

1) You must be an American citizen to be eligible to vote in any election, at any level.
2) You must certify through testing that you have a basic understanding of our political system and how it works before registering to vote.

It's fvktards like that that make scared as hell of a Constitutional Convention.
Many to many morons out there.
We don't need a new and improved constitution, we need to use and enforce the one we have.

The lack of critical thought or fact-checking is shameful, which is to say it's standard 21st-century opinion journalism.

The Constitution of 1787 certainly did not limit voting to males, much less land-owning ones.

He tries to dis the Constitution by saying that we didn't use it as a model for the Japanese, German, or Iraqi governments. Because those are obviously very similar countries to the United States, I guess.

They are still completely unaware of what the "3/5 compromise" was even for I see.

They just stuck it in there to be mean.
