Democrats who accuse Trump of overreaching want to do end-runs around the Constitution. Her move would ensure that every vote didn’t matter.
Via Free Beacon:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) said Monday she supported eliminating the Electoral College in presidential elections.
Speaking at a CNN town hall in Jackson, Mississippi, Warren laid out her proposed voting reforms to Democratic primary voters.
“We need to make sure that every vote counts,” she said, before going on to say in presidential election years, candidates ignore states like Mississippi, as well as blue states like California and Massachusetts, because they’re not battleground states.
“My view is that every vote matters, and the way we can make that happen is that we can have national voting, and that means get rid of the Electoral College,” Warren said, to cheers and applause.
