Law Prof Calls Electoral College Unconstitutional, Giving Small States Too Much Power


By Law Newz, Dec. 06, 2016 

California and New York should rush to the Supreme Court to strike down the Electoral College voting rules as unconstitutional, a leading scholar argues. By diluting the one-person, one-vote rule, they violate the Equal Protection clause, Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig urged in a blog post.

  1. It amazes me how far the left is willing to go to retain power...They spew visceral hate against anyone who does not think like them but when called out on it, they blame everything but themselves.......And as far as what they are willing to do to keep their hold on power, only God knows their limitations...

    1. If Clinton had won via the electoral college, but lost the popular vote, the same prof would have re-discovered the "virtues" of the Federalist Papers and the "wisdom" of the Founding Fathers

  2. Amazes me that any attorney would advocate such a proposal, especially in this Obama era of divisive lawlessness that seems to take precedent over tackling the cause of the problems this country is facing both domestically and abroad. I believe he is doing so in order to bolster his efforts to have electoral college revolt, and his own political aspirations to run for President. I think he is more concerned with his own interests, than that of the people of this country. Shameful coming from one who knows all to well why the electoral college is necessary.
