Jefferson predicted what fools we would be , as we let our country be destroyed.
ReplyDeleteIf I don't agree with Carper, does that allow him to take away my choice? I think I'd rather see Carper go away.
ReplyDeleteBetween dead people voting, Illegal aliens voting, and now this, it only shows that the democrats will do anything to win the elections and take control of this country. Read about the rise and fall of the Roman empire.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for a Republican to win the popular vote and watch these liberals' heads explode.
ReplyDeleteI hope there are enough constitution-wise states to prevent this.
ReplyDeleteIf this comes about, LA, NY and Detroit will be making all of the decisions for the country - and we can already see how well they are doing for themselves!
And when the voters overcome a fraudulent vote, what system will they want then?
ReplyDeleteWhat fools. What comes next is reducing states' rights even further by installing a Leftist federal government. The chocolate ration next months will be fifteen grams, Comrades.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why i have chocolate ? 15 grams is a lot is it dark . government
Delete8:12 - Read 1984. 15 grams is half an ounce, to last you a month.

ReplyDeleteLittle Delaware is a complete beneficiary of the Electoral College and the Constitution as ratified and amended.
Lower Slower's accuracy as a term is absolutely shown by the rank, partisan idiots who voted for this measure. They will rue the day.
Caesar Rodney weeps.
And of course Carney the career do nothing politician will sign it.
ReplyDeletePopular vote bills are unconstitutional, and can't pass constitutional muster. They nullify the intent of the electoral college that gives ALL states equal representation in the selection of our presidents, and not just the most populous states. Our forefathers were smart enough to know the most populous states would try to hog all the power for themselves; hence the electoral college. We are 50 United States, not just a handfull of the most populous states. Poor Delaware has leaders that are too stupid (and Democrat) to realize that the electoral college benefits THEM, as they are not a highly populous state.
ReplyDeleteCIVIL WAR IS COMING TO TRAITORS.
ReplyDeleteTaking away Delaware's citizens right to vote for who THEY want to vote for. Way to go Democrats.
