Think twice about how votes are counted

Have you who would abolish the electoral college really thought that through and considered the consequences?

Our founding fathers in their wisdom, decided that the United States of America should be a representative republic where all the citizens could have a say in the kind of government they would have.

The states would elect representatives who would make the concerns, ideas, and desires of their constituents known and considered, a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

If the popular vote was the only decision maker, we could in effect, have a dictatorship expressing only the ideas, opinions, and desires of one segment and mindset of the entire population.

Right now, there is almost a 50 - 50 split, and we all know too well about voter fraud.

Imagine being governed by these like minded precepts, Hollywood values, the old mainstream news medium who knowingly present fake documents as truth, who could shape our minds and hearts by reporting only the parts of the news that reinforce what they want us to hear and think.

There's the bigoted, racist, snob cartoonists who degrade minorities, who have worked hard to escape the government plantation of dependency, and those who are called Aunt Jemimas and Uncle Toms, who dare to make something special of themselves.

Then there's the elitists, educated to the point where they have absolutely no common sense and are so open minded their brains have fallen out. All these ideas are heard and considered.

There's a movement working hard to destroy the beliefs and traditions that have been our foundation; and erase inhibitions of long established values. Abolishing the electoral college would be a giant leap forward for that movement.

Governing by popular vote only, could easily make this nightmare scenario a full blown reality. Is that really what you want?
