The 10th Amendment to the Constitution

Amendment X.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

 

The Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees the powers are vested by and to the States, and that the Federal Government is limited to only those powers and authority granted to them by the States and by the People.

This is one of the ways the United States Federal Government is limited and controlled by the States and the people.
However the Democrat party currently in Washington wants to change all that.

The easiest and simplest ways to change the balance of powers is to eliminate the Electoral College and to take full control of Americas election laws.

 

As our Constitutional system is constructed the States have total control over how they conduct the elections, both at the State level and also in the National Elections.
In the national elections the States elect the Electoral College representatives based upon the numbers of votes cast within the State for the major candidates. Those Electoral College electors then cast their votes for the President and Vice President based upon the results of the election within their respective state and in accordance with the numbers of electors delegated to the State by the electoral College.

The total number of electors is currently set at 538. These numbers are based on the population numbers of each State as ascertained by the latest current census. The most heavily populated States being granted the most numbers of Electoral College electors and votes.

 

In this Electoral College type of system the States elect the President and Vice President of the United States. And thus the States have all the power and authority over who becomes President and Vice President.
The Democrat party wants to change that. They want Washington bureaucrats and politicians to control and decide who will be the President.

 

By eliminating the Electoral College system the Democrats would strip away the power of the States and hand complete control over our system of Government to a very few heavily populated States like California and New York and some bureaucrats in Washington.

 

Based on the 2019 census survey California had 39,512,223 population. And New York had 19,453,561. Texas had 28,995,881.

Total population of the US was estimated at 331,814,684.

 

They claim that they want a system of “One-man – one vote”. And that the President should be elected by the “Popular” vote. The person getting the most votes would be the President. The person getting the second most votes would be the Vice President.

The Democrats are depending in the ignorance of the people. They are depending, and hoping, that the American people do not understand the Electoral College system. They do not want the American people to understand that the popular votes in each State is what controls the Electoral College. The system is already based on the popular votes of the people. But the system gives the States the power to regulate the elections.

And That is what the Democrats don’t like.

 

The Electoral College system allows the smaller less populated States to have an equal say in who is elected President and Vice President. While the smaller less populated States may not have the same amount of Electors as the more heavily populated States the Electoral College system still allows them to have a voice and a vote in deciding who will be the President.

Without the Electoral College system States like California, New York, and Michigan could control the elections, and the smaller less populated States wouldn’t have anything to say about it.

 

And that is what the Democrats want. But it gets even worse than that. Because the Democrats want Washington bureaucrats to control the elections.

The Democrats want Congress or perhaps the Department of Commerce to control the elections.

Imagine if Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi were allowed to decide who the President would be. There would never be another Republican President. And THAT is what they want. NO opposition – ever.

 

It would give the party in power full and total control over who was going to be the President and Vice President.

Russian Communist President Joseph Stalin once said “It doesn’t matter who the people vote for or how many people vote. The only thing that matters is who COUNTS the votes.”
And that is what the Democrats want.

 

These efforts to abolish the Electoral College system must be stopped and never be allowed to continue.

Many people still believe that the November 2020 elections were “Stolen”, that the voting systems were manipulated and “rigged”. The Democrats complained that it could never be done, there are just too many States to control. Well imagine how easy it would be if there were only one system to control and manipulate, – the Federal election system.

 

This is where the Democrats say they will “Fundamentally Transform America”. That must never be allowed.

The American people must learn and understand the Electoral College system.

Our lives and our freedoms depend on it. Our Constitutional Republic depends on it.
