What the Dems Know: Universal Voter Registration

[Bill of Rights]

One of the key points made by John Fund was the fact that the state voter laws would be overridden by federal mandate. This would move us one step closer to doing away with the electoral college.

We are the United STATES of America, not the United PEOPLE of America. Moving away from the electoral college system and toward a pure popular vote system would centralize the power in the highly populated states and the big cities. The smaller, less populated states won't really matter anymore.

This system would be contrary to the the one set up by the framers of the Constitution. These men came up with an ingenious compromise that gave equal power to all states in the Senate, while allowing for the differences in population in the House of Representatives.

It is critical to maintain our respective State identities, and this Universal Voter Registration bill would erode it even more than it is now.

The Electoral College system was gamed by Obama last time as it is. BloodEclipse posted an article from the Washington Post that showed the enormous proportions by which he won LA and Chicago, despite McCain taking the majority of the counties in the country.

I do agree that our states need to retain their individual sovereignties.

Blessings,
Bill
