FAILING NY Times DEMANDS we END the Electoral College (and this is why they’re failing)

Tuesday, the failing New York Times editorial board demanded an end to the Electoral College.

This is more of the “blame game” that’s been going on for about 6 weeks now.

We’ve blamed Hispanics, whites, blacks, angry white men, fake news, Russians, recounts, and now the Electoral College.

When will it end?

The NY Times wants to do away with democracy and just let California pick every president from now on.

From Daily Caller:

The New York Times editorial board called for the end to the Electoral College following Donald Trump’s presidential win, describing the system carefully set up by the founders as something most Americans no longer “prefer.”

Most Americans would “prefer” to do away with the Electoral College, the editorial board notes as justification for getting rid of the system set up to empower less populated states. Trump played by the rules, the board acknowledges, but it’s not fair because the rules allowed him to win the election without winning the popular vote.

“By overwhelming majorities, Americans would prefer to elect the president by direct popular vote, not filtered through the antiquated mechanism of the Electoral College,” the board wrote in the editorial Tuesday. “They understand, on a gut level, the basic fairness of awarding the nation’s highest office on the same basis as every other elected office — to the person who gets the most votes.”

The piece links back to two other editorials criticizing the electoral college as evidence the board has opposed the system for at least 80 years — since Democrat Franklin Delano Roosevelt beat Republican Alf Landon in the 1936 presidential election. That position has remained constant regardless of the political outcome, the board says, noting an editorial on the system in 2012 that states it “needs to be abolished.”
