The Democrat partisan campaign against the electoral college has been waged under the false flag of fairness. A cottage of industry of experts and pundits has sprung up to accuse the institution of being anything from racist to divisive to just plain unfair.
Here’s a little data point from surveys of Dems in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina.
The Electoral College and SCOTUS as Partisan Issues: When asked if they would be in favor of the abolishing the Electoral College in favor of a system that elects presidents based on national popular vote, just under a two third of voters across all three states said they were in favor of abolishing the Electoral College. When they were asked about the possibility of Congressional Democrats adding two more seats to the Supreme Court if a Democrat wins back the White House in 2020, a slight plurality of voters in IA (43%) and NH (46%) and a majority in SC (54%) said they are in favor of doing so.
Democrats don’t want to abolish the Electoral College because it’s ‘fair’. They want to do it because it will help them.
