MS Democratic Party Chairman: “I agree with Hillary Clinton that Electoral College should be abolished”


National Democrats have become increasingly more vocal about their want to abolish the Electoral College in favor of a winner-take-all popular vote in U.S. Presidential elections, and now that sentiment is trickling down to their state parties – even in Mississippi.

Earlier this week, the Mississippi Democratic Party retweeted Hillary Clinton after she participated in casting an Electoral College vote in New York for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Clinton wrote in the tweet: “I believe we should abolish the Electoral College and select our president by the winner of the popular vote, same as every other office.”

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.

Clinton lost the 2016 election to President Donald Trump in the Electoral College despite winning the national popular vote. The same scenario happened in 2000 when former President Bill Clinton’s Vice President Al Gore lost to George W. Bush.

1. All of trump's machinations with the electors may backfire. It is souring the country on this system

3. All for it but as its a change to the Constitution, has to get majority or more of states to ratify.

Could take a bit.
