You picked such a great title for your book, and even without reading it, it is quite OBVIOUS how shameless the GOP is & is willing to fall on their own sword for it.
I'm a proud blue dot in Nebraska, I'm so glad it wasn't changed. I feel this should be in all states - it's much more fair. Best case - get rid of the electoral college completely! 💙💙💙💙💙
I'm an independent (Even "Nonpartisan" on my voter registration, but it's so hard to see all the crap that is going on here in Lincoln. I'll be voting for Harris (and Osbourne for Senate) in November, even if I doubt that it will make much difference here in the deep red part of Nebraska.
In order to make it more fair as well we can split the electoral college votes by the amount of votes each person gets so say the repubtard get 2/3 of the vote in a state they would get 2/3 of the votes from that state. Can make it both electoral college and popular at the same time so like in 2016 where Hillary got 3 million more votes nation wide she would have squeezed by with just around 10-15 more votes to get over that 270 mark and mr t***p would have had around 255-260
I can’t listen to Kamala speak she is a sad choice for the dems. Why not install rfk trump would actually lose then. Because they need someone who can be controlled. If you don’t see this by now you’re brainwashed by American news networks.
I don't disagree, but it's unlikely to change any time soon. Meanwhile, Democrats would be smart to figure out how to win within the current rules. I'd suggest expanding their coalition and reaching out to the rural white male Christians to round out their message of diversity and inclusion.
If we were actually interested in the 'will of the majority', then, short of a Constitutional amendment (which would be a sh**show of historic proportions) proportional Electoral College votes according the percentage of popular vote in each state would insure a lot more representation. The National Popular Vote Compact is fine, if it survives a SCOTUS challenge, and might work. But each state could follow Maine/Nebraska and allocate those votes according to the popular will of all the voters, instead of this winner-take-all cage match more suited to Road Warrior.

Sadly, the electoral college is likely here to stay if the only way to get rid of it is via Constitutional Amendment. The states have to approve it as well, and the likelihood of small, rural states giving up their advantage is basically nil.
The rason you want this as you know it favors the democrats, as massive states like Calafornia tend to vote Blue, and who in their right mind, would want to have those peoples views pushed on the whole country.
This is why we need to get rid of the electoral college system of voting. I don’t know how it can be done, but a movement should happen immediately and get it started.
Without the EC, there never would've been any Republican president since Bush I. They just aren't popular, well liked, or well received. That alone guarantees they'll never get rid of the EC. It would mean they'll never see national office again, and the power is the only reason they're there in the first place.
It would take a constitutional amendment to get rid of the electoral college. However, as I understand it, there's a movement already underway to get states to agree to award their electors to the winner of the national popular vote. They can do this; the Constitution leaves it up to the states to decide how to choose their electors. (They can't make electorship hereditary--the Constitution bars hereditary offices)--but almost anything else would go.)

Democracy is just doing what ever 51% of the population wants no matter how stupid it is, no matter how unethical, or immoral it is. That's not such a great thing.

It sure didn't take long for miss Lindsey to flip back again and start working for his Master Trump. Amazing miss Lindsey can stand without a spine! Flip-Flop Lindsey!
It is an outdated system. A constitution from 1776 is certainly no longer up to date. And the different processes in the state make no sense. Not effective. A country that wants progress must also make changes here and in the justice system. One country, one system, people are equal. That would be United.

Brian thank you for reporting these types of things because otherwise we'd have no clue what was going on. Corporate media doesn't tell us about this kind of stuff so we rely on you and we appreciate you greatly.
I'm not particularly a CNN fan, but they reported on this earlier. Their actual news reporting is, at least, factual - it's the opinion shows that need some work, especially when they keep inviting people like Scott Jennings.
This is just ridiculous that they have to cheat! Can't y'all get off your a** and do what right for the people?! No, that's to much like right?! Sick! And sick of them.
Add outright cheating and gerrymandering to Trump's lack of imagination by accusing his opponents of vices and flaws he so obviously demonstrates - like 'fascist Harris is going to destroy Democracy', and the sad part is, 35% of America is stupid enough to believe him. There should be a basic civics test to be able to vote, or an IQ score over 60... At least pass a dementia evaluation, I doubt Trump could pass one today. uh, man, woman, zebra.. no, I mean camera, giraffe, TV, crowd size...
@@allenchurch2870 its not cheating…its the way the law works. Democrats could do the same thing with majority. That in itself is checks and balances. It’s called the will of the people.
It’s the only way they can win. If America wants to make voting fair, voting should be compulsory so all these underhanded methods of trying to manipulate elections become defunct & the electoral college should be abolished so that every person’s vote matters just as much as every other person in the country.
Thank you, Brian, for reporting on this development. As a life long Democrat, it is hard to live in a state that hasn’t been carried by a Democratic presidential candidate since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. This “split electoral vote” has kept Nebraska relevant, even though it is only one district. It has been a thorn in the side of former governor and now Senator Pete Ricketts and other Republicans. This may get changed at a later date by a ballot initiative but, hopefully, this “behind the back move” is dead.
Who was the candidate who said "it's too late to have another debate, voting has already started"? If it's "too late" for another debate, then changing the way our votes are counted isn't in the cards either.

Donald Trump for prison 2024
Why doesn't his cult want Trump to pay for his crimes. The rest of us would be in jail for cheating on our taxes.
Lock him up!
Throw away the key
Trump to the courthouse, NOT the White House!!
Haha cry babies
Yes, yes yes yes
Finally, news that isn't soul crushing about my state! I cannot describe how demoralizing it is to be a liberal in Nebraska 99.9% of the time 😭
I hear you. Lived in Tennessee- ugh- now Kentucky. Unbelievably red. I live in a small pocket, and I mean miniscule pocket, of Democrats. It's so bad here my husband is afraid for my daughter and me bc we have bumper stickers! Unbelievable.
@@jade_alynne As a fellow Nebraska Dem, I hear you. We may be few and far between, but every day our numbers grow. 🔵🌊🌊🌊💙
So sorry honey . Move to a BLUE state for some sanity.❤
Try SC
It sure didn't take long for miss Lindsey to flip back again and start working for his Master Trump. Amazing miss Lindsey can stand without a spine! Flip-Flop Lindsey!
It is South Kakalaki. Home of the dumb and dumber.
Such a coward.
He's a Magat, he just pretends to flip to retain position..don't ever beleive him!
Hes a flounder !!
I don't trust Lindsey Graham. Period.
Vote every single republican out!!!
ABSOLUTELY...it will not be enough to just vote the top of the ballot...VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN the BALLOT to make CHANGE.
I'm voting blue up and down the ballot!!!
There are some good ones, not very many though.
NOW, Vote Blue!!
Actually where there's two Republicans running vote out the one that's Maga.
We need to be DONE with the Electoral College!
You need to move to another country! That is open treason!
Thank You! 💙💙💙
Very good. Thank God, and thank you for standing for honesty and fairness. Thank you Senator Mc Donald .
Vote Blue Vote Kamala for president 2024💙💙

FDJT
FHEE! His entire existence
Exactly
‼️PRISON TRUMP‼️
Just more reasons why the electoral college system needs to go away. What a cluster.
Vote BLUE America!! 💙💙💙💙
Let’s get rid of the Electoral College once and for all. It’s not working anymore!
It is an outdated system. A constitution from 1776 is certainly no longer up to date. And the different processes in the state make no sense. Not effective. A country that wants progress must also make changes here and in the justice system. One country, one system, people are equal. That would be United.
Too late now.
@@AM-fs1je bullsh*t. it may take longer than 2 months but the process should begin immediately.
A direct democracy is a very unstable form of government. the framers knew this
@@AM-fs1jeIt’s never too late! 🌺
Electoral college is so dumb
Other democracies think it’s ridiculous, too. They don’t have it in their systems.
If you think that's dumb, read how a Contingent Election is decided.
Only because it's not fair but it can be fixed..land doesn't vote. People do. Some states get more than they should
Agree, All votes are not equal because of it, Just tally up the Nation vote.
@@antondovydaitis2261 Holy crap! That's hard to believe that such nonsense could actually happen in a country that prides itself as a champion of democracy world wide. It would be a total clusterf___.
Please do a video on what we as voters can do to get our Congress to rid us of the antiquated electoral college.
I seriously can't get enough of your videos. So on the spot on what is going on.
I can’t wait to be done with Trump, Trumpism and the abhorrent Trump following. Politicians should be held to a higher standard and must be charged for election interference when applicable.
Get ready for 4 more years of trump
WHY TF do we still have the OUTDATED ELECTORAL COLLEGE??? 😡😠😡
I totally agree!!! It’s totally ridiculous.
Brian thank you for reporting these types of things because otherwise we'd have no clue what was going on. Corporate media doesn't tell us about this kind of stuff so we rely on you and we appreciate you greatly.
I'm not particularly a CNN fan, but they reported on this earlier. Their actual news reporting is, at least, factual - it's the opinion shows that need some work, especially when they keep inviting people like Scott Jennings.
@@sheilaboston7051He's an ass!!
My God no wonder you're all lost. 😁😁😁
This is just ridiculous that they have to cheat! Can't y'all get off your a** and do what right for the people?! No, that's to much like right?! Sick! And sick of them.
It is not cheating.
Thank you thank you thank you
Such a crook!
Trump Dumpy!!
Let that 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 flood America! VOTED AND VOTING BLUE 🗳 💙
I'm sick and tired of Republican cheating!!!!!!
They have no shame
Add outright cheating and gerrymandering to Trump's lack of imagination by accusing his opponents of vices and flaws he so obviously demonstrates - like 'fascist Harris is going to destroy Democracy', and the sad part is, 35% of America is stupid enough to believe him.
There should be a basic civics test to be able to vote, or an IQ score over 60... At least pass a dementia evaluation, I doubt Trump could pass one today. uh, man, woman, zebra.. no, I mean camera, giraffe, TV, crowd size...
@@allenchurch2870 its not cheating…its the way the law works. Democrats could do the same thing with majority. That in itself is checks and balances. It’s called the will of the people.
It’s the only way they can win. If America wants to make voting fair, voting should be compulsory so all these underhanded methods of trying to manipulate elections become defunct & the electoral college should be abolished so that every person’s vote matters just as much as every other person in the country.
What do you think Allan Church’s IQ is Brian?..I’m going with 95 ..close to average
Thank you, Brian, for reporting on this development.
As a life long Democrat, it is hard to live in a state that hasn’t been carried by a Democratic presidential candidate since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. This “split electoral vote” has kept Nebraska relevant, even though it is only one district.
It has been a thorn in the side of former governor and now Senator Pete Ricketts and other Republicans.
This may get changed at a later date by a ballot initiative but, hopefully, this “behind the back move” is dead.
Yet another reason he should be in prison. Vote Blue!! 💙
I'm very glad this plot was uncovered.
OMG is this ever going to stop? Oh wait, we can vote him out!! Get out and vote blue all the way 🔵🔵🔵🔵!!!
Thank you Senator for doing the right thing.
Always something!!
Thank you both❤
Popular vote. One vote per person!
Who was the candidate who said "it's too late to have another debate, voting has already started"? If it's "too late" for another debate, then changing the way our votes are counted isn't in the cards either.
Thank Brian for getting these stories out here.
I love that Lady, she was so honest and the Rep, who refused to bow to trump.
America VA had early voting and i am so happy 😁that i voted 💯ALL 💙 for me and our wonderful country this needs to STOP! And i said NO! to Project 2025 who is with ME? BLUE WAVE 2024 💙💙💙💙
Nice work, Brian. Thank you for covering things that are important but under the radar of other commentators.💙💙
