Elizabeth Warren vs the Electoral College

As if she wasn't already firing early political salvos and generating talking points in her effort to distance herself from her Democratic party rivals...

She's the first of the current prospective nominees to suggest abolishing the EC.

This will go over well in so-called "flyover country", I imagine.

From a person who lied about her heritage to get into college.

To the post..baaically NY, CA and other highly populated states will only have the power to elect a president.

The current system is more than fair. But when the coronation gets derailed panties end up in a bunch.

Obama won twice with the existing system and there was no kicking and screaming then.

I love how the Dems just giving Trump 2020 without a fight.

Wouldn't there have been if he had lost despite winning the popular vote like Gore before him?

But what are your thoughts on a system like the EC though? Makes sense? Should it be implemented (something similar at least) in every country on the planet? Starting with Jamaica?

If the Electorial College was not in place the World would be a totally different place now. For example there would not have been an Iraq war, thousands of people would be still living,many people would have had better health care. It is time for that system to be modified or done away with.
