IT’S OFFICIAL: Beto O’Rourke Calls for the Abolishment of ‘Corrupt’ and ‘Warped’ Electoral College

posted by Hannity Staff - 4.01.19

Former Texas Congressman and potential 2020 Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke officially endorsed the end of the Electoral College Monday; saying American democracy is “warped” and “corrupted” by the unique election process.

O’Rourke was speaking at the We The People Summit in Washington when he was asked if he supported the abolishment of the College; an idea widely trumpeted by fellow Democratic challengers.

“Let’s abolish the electoral college,” O’Rourke said. “If we get rid of the Electoral College, we’d get a little closer to one person, one vote.”

“Our democracy…it is warped, it is corrupted right now. It we don’t fix it, it’s never going to get better,” he added.

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke threw his support behind the Democratic Party’s recent push to abolish the Electoral College Tuesday; saying there’s “a lot of wisdom in that” following the results of the 2016 race for the White House.

O’Rourke was speaking with supporters after leaving Penn State when he was asked if he agreed with fellow Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren in her efforts to end the uniquely American political process.

“Last night, Elizabeth Warren suggested getting rid of the Electoral College. Is that an idea you would support?” asked one reporter.

“I think there’s— there’s a lot to that,” O’Rourke fired-back. “You had an election in 2016 where the loser got three million more votes than the victor. It puts some states out of play all together… I think there’s a lot of wisdom in that.”

PLAN B: Cory Booker Endorses End of the Electoral College, Says ‘Most Votes’ Should Win

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.29.19

Senator Cory Booker delivered his first televised town hall event on CNN this week; siding with his fellow Democratic challengers and endorsing the end of the Electoral College in future presidential elections.

“My question is: Do you believe that there should be some type of reform to the Electoral College, or should it remain as it is?” asked one audience member.

“Thank you for the question. I believe very simply that in presidential elections, the person with the most votes should be the president of the United States,” said Booker. “But I want to tell you, for us ever to get to a point where we can address that issue, we have got to win this next election under the rules that are there now.”
