The One Thing our Founding Fathers Overlooked That We Can Fix & Fortify our Constitutional Republic

Our Founding Fathers established the Electoral College with the intent of preserving our Constitutional Republic so large populated cities would not always decide who becomes President each election cycle, thus giving citizens who live in lesser populated areas a fair voice. We need to realize that America is a “Constitutional Republic” only in so far as to how it is determined who wins the Presidential Elections at the FEDERAL level, meaning, for example, all of North Carolina’s 16 EC votes are awarded to the “federal” Electoral Collage.

** THE PROBLEM **

What our Founding Fathers overlooked is each state’s Electoral College votes are actually decided upon mob rule, popular vote, “democracy” within each individual state.

As a Constitutional Republic, we elect only the federal Executive Branch, President & Vice President, via the federal Electoral College. We claim we’re a “Constitutional Republic” because our Presidential elections are decided by the federal Electoral College. In reality, each state’s EC votes are decided based upon actual mob rule, popular vote, “democracy” WITHIN each individual state, meaning one large city can still decide which party/candidate receives ALL the state’s EC votes.

Additionally, federal House and Senate elections are also decided based upon mob rule, popular vote, “democracy” within each state. All state-level elections, Executive and Legislative Branches, are also decided based upon mob rule, popular vote, “democracy” within each state.

The reality is we cannot truly claim the United States is a 100% “Constitutional Republic” when ONLY the federal offices of President and Vice President are determined based upon the Electoral College, especially when all other offices; US House, US Senate, state Governors and both sides of every state legislature are all decided based upon mob rule, popular vote, “democracy”.

** PROPOSED SOLUTION **
If we genuinely want our country to be a true Constitutional Republic where ALL people truly have a voice in who is elected to office at every level, then we need to be a Constitutional Republic at both levels, federal and state.

We can fix this by establishing an Electoral College system within each state by making it federal law that each state implements a “State Electoral College”, which would grant “SEC” votes to each individual county. This would ensure that only 1 or 2 large cities within a state do not always determine whether a state is always “Blue” in the Presidential elections every 4 years.

** EXAMPLE **
Instead of awarding all 16 of NC’s Electoral College votes to the candidate who won the mob rule popular vote in NC, each individual county should have the authority to award their county’s State Electoral College votes to whichever candidate won each respective county.

** BENEFITS **

  1. While this may cost Donald Trump say, 6 of North Carolina’s 16 federal Electoral College votes, Donald Trump would pick up roughly 23 of the 50 Electoral College votes in CA (based upon the current percentage of US House Republicans elected by the people of CA).
  2. This would also make it virtually impossible to steal another Presidential election, Governor’s race or steal another seat in our federal or state legislatures.
  3. It would reverse the damage done to our current Electoral College system in CA by the Amnesty Bill of 1986, which made millions of illegals citizens and turned CA blue in every election after 1988.

** OUTCOME **
This would decentralize the power over our elections by taking the power away from just a tiny handful of individual “Electors” and corrupt Secretaries of States across the nation. This would truly put the power and authority over all of our elections directly into the hands of We The People from President all the way down to the School Board.

** ADDITIONAL PROPOSED ELECTION INTEGRITY LAWS **

  1. ILLEGAL for any media outlet to “call” any election ever again.
  2. ALL COUNTY ELECTION RESULTS are to be made live, online and monitorable by the general public in real time as votes are cast. The very instant a voter scans their ballot, their vote is automatically tabulated and published to the public. The General Public becomes the “poll watchers”.
  3. ALL ballots are to be given BACK to the individual voter upon scanning. Ballots are the property of the voter, not the state. Once a ballot is scanned, that ballot’s serial number then become void and exits the building with the individual voter. Physical scanned ballots ARE NOT to be kept by any poll workers, election boards, etc. 100% of all scanned ballot images are to be uploaded online and viewable by the general public.
  4. All polling stations are to be under live camera. All ballots are to be on live camera, viewable by the general public, 24 hours per day, while they are in custody of the poll workers.
  5. No more mail-in ballots for citizens who live within the United States. Mail-in ballots are only for US military stationed overseas and US citizens who live and work abroad.
  6. No more drop boxes. All votes must be cast on a paper ballot, in person, with ID required. The only exceptions are citizens who are nursing home residents.
  7. Electronic voting machines are to be outlawed in all 50 states. Only the ballot scanner that scans a paper ballot is to capture the images, send the vote results to the County Board of Elections, and publish to each County Board of Elections website. Each Secretary of State website can only and must provide a link to each individual County Board of Elections website. Each Secretary of State website must provide a live feed of the results as being reported by each individual county.
  8. No election is to be “called” until 100% of all polls have closed at all precincts, meaning every ballot has been scanned and votes counted in real time, meaning zero delay in delivering the results of every single election at every level across the country to the general public in real time.
  9. Death Penalty for anyone caught tampering with ballots/scanners, county Board of Election websites, Secretary of State websites, etc. There would be no such thing as “ballot harvesting” under this scenario.

I could and would vote for this. However Attu is on the other side of the international date line, so it would be the first to vote and close. Other AL islands or HI may be the last to vote. final results will be delayed. However, I think it should be up to the state to decide as that is what the Constitution calls for. Both NE and ME split votes currently. Voting districts know no county lines. As far as other measures such as hackable voting machines you are spot on. Most states limit mail in ballots (until the plandemic) to those who are invalids or out on business and the percentages really are very small. Make election day a holiday so no one can say they can’t make time. Make it a 3 day weekend by Constitutional amendment because the first Tuesday after the first Monday is specifically listed in the Constitution. As far as military goes, they are manipulated by those in power, some delaying ballots to be returned or shipping them out too late. Perhaps if you are in the military you can designate a family member to vote, or vote by internet.

I was happy to see your policy on this topic - you’ve put so much more thought into the Voter college within each state than I had.
The death penalty is a bit extreme but as mentioned - that should be a very good deterrent from any cheating
