I think if it happens again there will be more marching in the streets.
I think if Trump stays in office and royally screws up the country to the point that even Republicans start getting harmed by his actions and start to become afraid of his leadership that there will finally be a chance the EC will be changed significantly in some way or done away with. I’d argue that proportional voting by representatives will most likely be the outcome in many states. Although, I also heard once that this still will not work out to always represent the will of the voters. I guess because of the distracting. I think some states have already switched to the electoral votes matching the national popular vote, but that is different from what I’m saying.
The good thing about having electors is if the populous is bamboozled by propaganda, maybe the representatives who know more about what happens behind closed doors does the right thing and votes against the people. That’s shaky though, it could be used for bad also.
Even if Trump wins I think Democrats are going to win big in Congress in November.
With covid I don’t see how things don’t start to unravel in the country. In October we will likely start to see the stock market dip like almost every October. That will make people nervous. Businesses will continue to close. I don’t see how people don’t get nervous no matter who is president. If Trump stays in office, our national debt will get bigger and bigger. He has already proven he doesn’t give a damn about lowering it. If he does care about the deficit he has proven he doesn’t know how to lower it. He had a booming economy and the debt only got bigger.
Covid took care of our Southern border, so Trump, and especially Q and other groups already messaging about BLM, will focus more and more on minorities in the country who are already here. The question is, will the minorities band together and make change happen. They will be part of changing the EC.
@Tropical_Willie I think @Dutchess_III means that most states the electors give the candidate with the most votes ALL of the electoral votes. It doesn’t represent the people of the state, it represents only the majority winner.
