Democrats’ Desperation: Last Chance To Stop Trump
To those on the left, if an election does not go their way, the country should just change the rules (“Subverting Democracy,” F.H. Buckley, PostOpinion, Dec. 14).
If Hillary Clinton had won the electoral and not the popular vote, I’m 100 percent sure the left wouldn’t have a single Electoral College critic.
The people complaining about the results of the election need to knock it off and stop being sore-losing, whiny crybabies. Jay Pelc Brooklyn
I never used to see the value of the Electoral College. I regarded it as antiquated, ridiculous and even dangerous.
In this crazy year of politics, I now see how it can serve a vital role as part of our checks and balances.
When there’s a problem with the results of our voting, the Electoral College has the power and the responsibility to fix it.
It’s my hope and earnest prayer that the Republican electors cast their votes for Hillary. Jean Chambers Oakboro, NC
I find it interesting that lawyers and other experts are arguing in favor of “faithless” electors.
If we take this policy to its logical conclusion, then we could easily have 538 people deciding who will be president in the future. The electors could all just “vote their conscience.” Would we even need to have an election?
Sounds dangerous to me. Allen West San Diego, Calif.
We just had a rigged election. It’s not time for silence. Because of Russian interference, we should just redo Election Day entirely.
It’s past time to get serious about those who are interfering with the basic way our government functions. The Russians’ relationship with the Trump administration is horrifying. Bonnye Matthews Wasilla, Ark.
It’s been over a month since Hillary, in her painful hour of defeat, commendably told her supporters that they owed President-elect Donald Trump “an open mind and a chance to lead.”
But that was before this pathological state of denial by the left took hold.
With the Democrats’ latest scheme to change the results of the Electoral College, it seems like they are a basket of election-denying deplorables. James Hyland Beechhurst
