Democrat Rep. Jaime Raskin on Sunday called the Electoral College a ‘danger to the American people’ during an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan asked Raskin about the January 6 Committee and the Electoral Count Reform Act that just passed both chambers of Congress as part of the $1.7 trillion Omnibus bill.
Raskin called the Electoral College a danger to the American people and said the Electoral Count Reform Act didn’t go far enough.

Oh by all means just get rid of the electoral college and this country will become a mob-rule "democracy". We are a Republic, not a democracy. Look up the difference.

If they do away with the electoral college, only California and New York need to vote. The rest of us won't matter.

Democrats ķeep throwing around the " threat to democracy" . They blame everyone else as the threat when the Democrat's uncontrolled thirst for power is the true threat. They believe in mob rule, which quickly devolves into dictatorship. Luckily, the USA is a Representative Republic , mot a pure democracy. As a Congressman, Rep. Raskin should know the difference. Since he apparently doesn't , he shouldn't be in Congress!

what more can you expect from a communist posing as an American and ... an elected representative at our federal level of government at that??!! "but, but, but, but" there are more than many who will agree with this lame brain and concur with their votes in their next election cycle, disgusting.

The Electoral College, like other things in our system of government, is intended to be a "threat," or rather a modification of the mob rule of pure democracy.

And if the shoe were on the other foot, the Dems would be waving the Constitution in everyone's face, demanding that it be followed to the letter.

Does he know it is in the Constitution? Or that the Founders wanted to prevent a pure democracy?

The founding fathers set up the electoral college to help eliminate the larger states from having undue influence in running the government. It works to a certain extent; however, I don't think it's perfect. I believe a fairer system was shot down by the representatives of the larger states during the debate of the Constitution which would have worked along the same rules of electing the number of Senators from each state. So, we have what we have now which comes down to winning eight to ten states to get elected.

The Founding Fathers (who were a lot smarter than the current crop) set up the country as a Constitutional Republic headed by a Chief Executive elected by an Electoral College, precisely to prevent people like this Ratskin (IMO skin is the wrong organ here) character from usurping the citizens' liberties. No wonder he is carping about it.

Why to you think that Biden and the Democrats are flooding the USA with unlimited millions of poor and uneducated third world people as possible who Biden and the Democrats are allowing to unlawfully enter the USA? Well Biden and the Democrats first of all do not consider those foreign people to be illegal aliens, but to be prospective future leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrat voters.
As the Biden and Democrat scheme continues, and there are already calls for the Congress, under the guise of needed “comprehensive immigration reform” to grant a Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesty to just about the entire and rapidly growing illegal alien population, amounting to over 20 million illegal aliens, who are thought to be in the USA. Actually nobody knows the true numbers, no matter as such an amnesty would grant that illegal alien population a legal immigration status, and then US Citizenship with US voting rights.
If the wimpy Republicans and RINOS were to cave, as they usually do, and allow such a Democrat amnesty to become law, the Democrats would use that foreign born population’s leftist and socialist oriented votes to remain in permanent political power. As a result with the leftist Democrat factions in permanent political power, the USA would never again have the political ability or will to again ever effectively enforce the immigration laws, resulting in an unending number of world people who fit with the categories of Democrat identity politics entering the USA as they wish. Chances are the Democrats would then gain the political support to get rid of the Electoral College. The USA would then transition into some sort of of one party and minority-majority controlled country.

"Danger to Democracy" translation: threat to democrat control.
Democrats only believe in democracy when the voters agree with them.

Yes! The Electoral College was created specifically to PREVENT democracy. We want to STOP all attempts at democracy subverting our REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC.
The entire Constitution is carefully written to STOP democracy. It's a FEATURE, not a bug.
