Female US presidential candidate who evidently never read The Federalist and who LOST TO DONALD J. TRUMP has some ideas for American electoral reform.
We need to improve and protect our elections, from instituting paper ballot backups to repairing the Voting Rights Act, getting secret money out of politics, and—you won't be surprised to hear my support for this—abolishing the Electoral College.
What do you mean "we," old-timer? The system isn't broken just because you forgot Wisconsin was an American state resulting in your LOSS TO DONALD J. TRUMP. Contrary to what you may believe in your heart of hearts, no one is entitled to be president of the United States.
To be honest, I'd be all for this if Grandma added just one more small thing to this loopy leftist laundry list of hers. A right to peaceful secession.
I'm completely serious. After all, what would motivate people in states like Kansas, North Dakota, Missouri or Wyoming to willingly take orders from political cesspools like New England, New York City, Chicago, San Francisco or California? But if states had the right to opt out of such a situation, Grandma's electoral wet dream might have a slight chance of seeing the light of day.
Shove this garbage down the throats of states like Kansas, North Dakota, Missouri or Wyoming and you'll get a secession that will be anything but peaceful. And the new "Confederate States of America" will extend to the Canadian border.

I actually agree with her about paper ballots, not as backups, but as the main system. We have them in North Carolina, paper marked with pens and fed into the tabulator by the voter. Works great.
But if we actually got "dark money" out of politics Clinton would go bankrupt. And there's no way to do it, anyhow. As a federal lawsuit, backed by massive detail from public records, shows, Clinton found a way to kite $84 million through the current election finance system, effectively making the DNC and state parties owned subsidiaries of her campaign.
As to the Electoral College, tough luck, sugar. We've always elected presidents this way. Trump campaigned accordingly. She was so sure she'd win that she didn't bother.
