Keep the Electoral College.  Republicans can fare better in the EC than in the PV, thanks to California.

Only make it mandated by law that the Electors must vote for the choice of the voters of their state, or in the case of DC their District.

I believe this amendment would pass easily.

IF it happened it'd be war because there is no legit reason for the electors not to vote for Trump.

Legit reason #1: It is their duty, and main reason for being, to deny the presidency to a would-be dictator.

Legit reason #2: Russia and James Comey elected Trump; not the American people.

We won.

You lost.

Quit being bitter.

i could be wrong - apologies in advance - but weren't you one of the people who...lost...this election?

During the course of the campaign, I launched many harsh denunciations of both Trump and Clinton.

Nearer to the end of the campaign though, I returned home.

Lost the election?

Hardly.

Who controls the Presidency?
Who controls the Vice Presidency?
Who controls the U.S. Senate?
Who controls the U.S. House of Representatives?
Who controls appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court, appointments which will set the course of the court for a generation?

The Republican victory was legitimate.

Prove it wasn't.

The Democrats lost because they nominated a horrible candidate, cold, calculating, establishment, who had trouble connecting with ordinary, every day, honest, hard working, tax paying Americans, not because of anything the Russians may or may not have done.

2.5 million votes say otherwise, but an antiquated system saved Trump from a loss. Besides, your man won the Presidency, so why are you even worried about how other people are perceiving the win? Really, you need to allow others to have their opinions.

Clearly, everyone is entitled to their opinions.

I never have disputed the Democrats margin in the popular vote.  Just as a point of interest, it was mainly a result of the Democrats lopsided margin in California.  But I'm sure you already know that. 

However, I also have the right to defend my party and my positions.

You won because Russia hacked our election.

You lost by nearly 3 million votes.

But anyway, the two reasons I listed are valid and I challenge you to prove otherwise.

You are the one who made the accusation, so, with all due respect, it is up to you to prove the alleged Russian hacking made Trump the winner.

The onus of proof is on the plaintiff.

And I have never doubted the popular vote win by the Democrats.
