You guys are doing a great job of making it appear that your reason for wanting the Electoral College abolished is to prevent Republicans from getting into the White House.

I'll diffidently point out that a common law on the books of these several states that avoids the electoral college will be subject to, and probably destroyed by, a Supreme Court challenge. So, IMHO, it's wasted effort. If you can get all the states to agree, why not make it an amendment ? THEN it's OK by The Supremes and everyone.

Sure just like the decision to allow corporations to have the same rights as you are accepted by most of us.
