DNC chair gets Constitution wrong in speech to law students
Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez incorrectly stated
"the Electoral College is not a creation of the Constitution" during a
Tuesday night speech.
"The Electoral College is not a creation of the Constitution," Perez said during a lecture at Indiana University Law School. "It doesn’t have to be there."The Electoral College, a mechanism for indirect election of the president created by the Founding Fathers as a compromise between smaller states and larger states, is clearly laid out in Article II of the Constitution: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress."

This guy either does not have the slightest clue as to what he is talking about OR he is lying to the students. Either way he ought to be fired on the spot.
ReplyDeleteIf the President were to be elected by direct popular vote, then the 5 states with the biggest population would determine who gets to be POTUS. But if lived in a state with a smaller population, say Idaho, or mid range such as Minnesota, then there would be no point in voting since given the numbers (#of people in California vs. Idaho). There would no point for a candidate to go to George to convince them to vote for him, since the number of votes coming out of New York would negate theirs. BTW, popular vote/majority rule is a polite way of saying mob rule.
