Those dangerous Democrats…
New York Governor Kathy Hochul called for an end to the Electoral College this week, claiming that it’s outdated and the U.S. Constitution needs to be amended.
“We, the people, forming a more perfect union, and I strongly believe that the people of New York state and the United States of America, should and must have their votes count equally, and that the popular vote should prevail,” the Democratic governor said as she presided over proceedings of the New York state Electoral College in Albany.
“It’s time to amend the Constitution and relegate the institution of the Electoral College to the history books,” Hochul said.
“Unfairly, less populated states have outsized influence, and in effect, the votes of their residents count more than the residents of a state like New York,” Hochul said.
She added that “this convoluted process also leads candidates for president to spend an inordinate amount of time in a few swing states, rather than appealing to the voters of our entire country.”
Of course, eliminating the Electoral College wouldn’t have helped Democrats this time around, as President-elect Donald Trump won both the Electoral College and the popular vote.
