I hope all those people who disagreed with me on the outdated Electoral College are reassessing their stance on keeping it after seeing the trouble it caused.
Without it there would not have been a January 6th riot and attempt to take down our Democracy to satisfy a president who could not accept that he lost. There would be no question about “finding” a few votes to change the results. No false set of electors would have been needed because there would have been no electors. No shouts of “Hang Mike Pence.” No nooses on Capitol Hill. No congress members fearing for their lives.
Think about it. It could have been avoided. Remember amendments can be changed — think prohibition.
The founders were well-intentioned to create a system that thwarted the tyranny of the majority. I doubt they could've foreseen that it would create a system that promoted the tyranny of the minority.
Lucretia, you’re old and pitiful. I’m old — probably older than you — but I’m not pitiful…yet. But if I read many more letters from R.L. Bays, Daniel F. Kirk and you, all bets are off. Seriously, your thought processes are sad. Just turn on “Matlock”, “The Golden Girls”, and other shows your friends in assisted living like. And leave us alone!

Reality has just escaped from some of these people.
