A group of House Democrats introduced a resolution to amend the Constitution to abolish the Electoral College and institute a direct national popular vote for president and vice president.

"Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to abolish the electoral college and to provide for the direct election of the President and Vice President of the United States," reads the text of House Joint Resolution 14.

The effort, led by Rep. Steve Cohen, a Democrat from Tennessee, claims that the "development of mass media and the internet has made information about Presidential candidates easily accessible to United States citizens across the country and around the world."

In a statement explaining the move, Cohen called the Electoral College an "archaic institution" that "has twice awarded the presidency to a candidate who did not win the popular vote" in the last 20 years.

"Americans expect and deserve the winner of the popular vote to win office," Cohen's statement continued. "More than a century ago, we amended our Constitution to provide for the direct election of U.S. Senators. It is past time to directly elect our President and Vice President."

Cohen also cited the siege of the U.S. Capitol last week, arguing that "efforts can be made to manipulate the Electoral College vote using falsehoods and shenanigans by ambitious politicians."

Wow, the demoncrats aren't wasting any time changing the foundations of the country. This is essentially a declaration of war on non-Marxist Americans.

I love nonsense like this from democrats. There is no way in hell this would be ratified by 2/3 of the states. It is nothing more than appeasement for their lemmings.

Agree.
But what puzzles me by claiming this, they admit they can't win without cheating and changing the rules. Or are they really this clueless about our Constitutional Republic?
Boggles the mind...

I think it would be far easier to cheat. I also think the democrats do not care who knows that. It's all about staying in power, then they can write their own history books.

It just reminds us of how shallow their thinking is. It is the same as packing the Supreme Court. Pelosi knows it will cost the dems their majority in congress. Yet they have fools like Markey, Nadler and Hank Johnson (Guam will tip over) pushing this to their loony following.

And the tyranny continues

Since the last election l've learned to never ever underestimate the stupidity of democrats or the American people in general. Neither seem to have a functioning brain the American public least of otherwise democrats would not exist today.

IMO...the democrats know they lost and lost bigly on Nov 2020. Now they are running scared knowing what lies ahead for them in the next election.

In this forum I have posted nearly a dozen times how all of this BS will cost the DIMS in '22 and '24. The clock is ticking on the LIBTARDED LEFT. States are in the process of, most importantly, cleaning up election laws while uncovering the 2020 fraud.

TICK TOCK. TICK TOCK.

Yep, too many actually think there is more libs voting than there really are, it's an illusion perpetrated by their CCP media.
When the truth is, no one voted for Bite me, and 2022 will prove it, as we run the Marxist RINO out of the party.

If not for fraud, there wouldn't even be a Dim party today.

they cheated to win the White House back with China's and Iran's assistance and now they are purposefully destroying the 2nd Amendment and the Electoral College. The DNC is the enemy of this country.

Like I stated in another post 9 out of 4 Biden voters regret their decision........

Excellent point! For something as un-American and evil as the democratic party to even exist there needs to be millions of abject morons to empower it!
