Should We Dismantle the Electoral College?

Should We Dismantle the Electoral College?

Here’s the Scoop

Democrats are panicking as their once-reliable blue wall in the upper Midwest states starts crumbling, forcing them to focus on winning a single district in Nebraska this November.

The Democratic super PAC Future Forward USA recently reserved a whopping $130 million in advertising from late August through Election Day, including $3.7 million in Nebraska’s 2nd District. This is a significant increase from the mere $698,775 they spent in the same district in 2020.

This desperate move comes as Democrats face an uncertain future in crucial swing states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin due to population changes.

“The industrial north strategy – the old blue wall that held even for Al Gore and John Kerry when they lost – you now need Nebraska-2 to make that math work,” said Kyle Kondik, an election handicapper at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics.

The importance of this single Electoral College vote cannot be overstated, as Nebraska is not a winner-take-all state. Biden won the district in 2020, joining Barack Obama, who prevailed there in 2008, as the only other Democrat to do so since 1991.

Biden’s campaign is also scrambling to gain support in states like Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, and Arizona, where winning the Hispanic and black votes are crucial.

However, they face an unexpected challenge from long-shot presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running as an independent and gaining support among southern black voters, including those in Georgia.

As the blue wall crumbles, it’s clear that the Democrats are grasping at straws, desperately trying to hold onto power.

The question remains: Should we dismantle the Electoral College and expose our nation to the chaos of a popular vote, or should we uphold the system that has served us well for centuries?
