NYT, Gov. Brewer find common ground

Nov. 16, 2012 8:38am Eddie Scarry

The New York Times editorialized today against the electoral college:

The Electoral College remains a deeply defective political mechanism no matter whom it benefits, and it needs to be abolished.

We say that in full knowledge that the college may be tilting toward the kinds of candidates we tend to support and provided a far more decisive margin for Mr. Obama earlier this month than his showing in the popular vote. The idea that a voting method might convey benefits to one side or another, in fact, is one of the strongest arguments against it.

That puts the paper in agreement with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer who said last week that “it’s pretty disappointing when you think that just a few states really determine who’s been elected president.” She said the electoral college has “served its purpose.”

Incidentally, NYT and Brewer are rarely on the same page. The paper has written no less than three editorials specifically against her policies within the last year.

Strange bedfellows.

In many states the electors are still not bound by law to vote for he candidate who’s ballot count was the highest. This is a safeguard which was originally built in to avert a miscarriage of justice as we have seen in this election.

The electors will vote on Monday December 17th. They can still vote for Romney if we convince them that the election WAS stolen.

There are 22 signs that voter fraud is wildly out of control and the election was a sham…

According to the Election Protection Coalition, voters across the United States reported more than 70,000 voting problems by 5 PM Eastern time on election day.

Do you still believe that elections in America are fair and honest?
Email me, “eddy.impanis@yahoo.com”, if you were witness to any of these incidents, especially if you voted Romney in one of these 98-100% Obama precincts. Spread this message to all your friends and copy them in on your emails to me.

Not only should we reconsider the presidential results but every other candidate running for public office since the problem seems to stem from an entire political party, not just a single campaign.

Governor Brewer is a decent person without a clue about Constitutional limitations or why the Founders did what they did.

Yes indeed do away with the Electoral College, relegate the smaller states into mere Nothings and make stealing votes in the big cities all the more attractive. Making the Senate a popular vote office ended that check on mob rule–by all means continued the trend. Hell do away with the Constitution altogether and make the legacy of Roosevelt (both), Wilson and fascist of every stripe complete. Tragically blacks, hispanics, jews, peoples with disabilities and others THINK they will do well under a Progressive/fascist oligarchy-they are wrong.
