The Constitution is impossible to change on a partisan basis.

But Liz is a lawyer and teacher, and professor she has to be right because she has studied the law.
Too bad she didn't study the reasons the founders made the law.

I believe she knows, but ignores the reason the Electoral College was put in the Constitution, for political purposes of giving the democrats a lock on the Presidency .Not a very ethical stance, but then no one ever accused Fauxcahontas of being ethical.

Maybe Juan W. should read this.

Another argument is that the Electoral College bears the moral stain of slavery. But the debate over how to select the president that took place at the Constitutional Convention—whether to do it by popular vote, or via Congress, or another method—was between the large and small states. Slavery wasn’t mentioned, except in an ambiguous remark by James Madison.
