Congratulations, President Trump!
The people have spoken, and our President-elect Donald Trump has officially secured the Electoral College vote on Tuesday. With a victorious 312 electoral votes, Trump has proven yet again that he’s got what it takes to lead our great nation. Vice President Kamala Harris, on the other hand, managed to secure only 226 votes.
The Electoral College: A Time-Honored Tradition
It’s a simple truth: the person who garners the most votes should win. Fair and square, that’s all there is to it. But some folks, like Democrat Sen. Brian Schatz from Hawaii, have been pushing for an end to the Electoral College, arguing it’s outdated and undemocratic. They claim that no one’s vote should count for more based on where they live.
The Unattainable Goal
Well, let’s set the record straight: ending the Electoral College isn’t just a long shot; it’s virtually impossible. A constitutional amendment requires approval from two-thirds of both houses of Congress or approval by three-fourths of state legislatures. This is no small feat, especially considering Democrats’ current lack of power in Congress and the high bar for changing our nation’s Constitution.
A Case for Tradition
The Electoral College system has been in place since the founding of our country and has served us well. It ensures that every voice matters, not just the loudest one in a crowded room. And let’s not forget, President Trump won this election fair and square – not just in the Electoral College, but also in the popular vote with 77.2 million votes compared to Vice President Harris’ 75 million.
We Stand by Our Votes
We believe in a strong America, and we believe that every American’s vote counts – no matter where they live. The Electoral College system reflects this belief and ensures that our elections are fair and democratic. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s been working for us for centuries and we stand by it.
