Eric Holder: Abolish the Electoral College | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrF16RJl7yA

Under the U.S. Constitution they are obligated to vote only for a candidate who is fit for office. To this end, each elector may vote as a "faithless elector".
The faithless elector option was included by the founding fathers as a safeguard against the situation we now find ourselves in - when a highly unfit person is about to become our President. In fact, Alexander Hamilton said, "the office of president will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.”
We The People must now urge our electors to exercise the "faithless elector" option. Our electors MUST now speak for us. It is their duty to prevent a man "who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications" from taking the office of President of the United States.
The 2016 election is not final until the electors of the Electoral College meet (in their respective state capitals) and vote on December 19, 2016.
Furthermore, The People have spoken; Hillary Clinton has won the popular vote.
Our electors MUST vote for Hillary Clinton on December 19, 2016.
This petition will be delivered to:
Amy Bunk, Director of Legal Affairs and Policy; Miriam Vincent, Staff

Moore said:Day Two’s To-Do List: Abolish the Electoral College!!!!

1. Must quickly and decisively form an opposition movement, the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the 1960s. I will do my part to help lead this as I’m sure many others (Bernie, Elizabeth Warren, MoveOn, the hip-hop community, DFA, etc.) will, too. The core of this opposition force will be fueled by young people who, as with Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter, don’t tolerate b.s. and are relentless in their resistance to authority. They have no interest in compromising with racists and misogynists.

2. Prepare to impeach Trump. Just as the Republicans were already planning to do with President Hillary from Day One, we must organize the apparatus that will bring charges against him when he violates his oath and breaks the law — and then we must remove him from office.

3. Must commit right now to a vigorous fight (including civil disobedience, if necessary) which will block any and all Donald Trump Supreme Court nominees who do not meet our approval. We demand the Democrats in the Senate aggressively filibuster any nominees who support Citizens United or who oppose the rights of women, immigrants and the poor. This is non-negotiable.

4. Demand the DNC apologize to Bernie Sanders for trying to fix the primaries against him, for spinning the press to ignore his historic campaign, for giving Clinton the questions in advance at the Flint debate, for its latent ageism and anti-Semism in trying to turn voters against him because of his age or religious beliefs, and for its anti-democracy system of “superdelegates” who are elected by no one. We all know now had Bernie been given a fair shot, he probably would have been the nominee and he — as the true outsider and “change” candidate –would have inspired and fired up the base and soundly defeated Donald Trump. If no apology is soon forthcoming from the DNC, that’s ok — when we take over the Democratic Party (see yesterday’s To-Do List, #1), we will issue the apology in person.

5. Demand that President Obama establish a Special Prosecutor to investigate who and what was behind FBI Director James Comey’s illegal interference into the Presidential election 11 days before the vote was held.

6. Begin a national push while it’s fresh in everyone’s mind for a constitutional amendment to fix our broken electoral system: 1. Eliminate the Electoral College — popular vote only. 2. Paper ballots only — no electronic voting. 3. Election Day must be made a holiday for all — or held on a weekend so more people vote. 4. All citizens, regardless of any run-ins with the criminal “justice” system, must have the right to vote. (In swing states like Florida and Virginia, 30-40% of all Black men are prohibited by law from voting.)

7. Convince President Obama to immediately do what he should have done a year ago: Send in the Army Corps of Engineers to Flint to dig up and replace all the poisoned pipes. NOTHING HAS CHANGED; the water in Flint is still unusable.

Will try to get these done by sundown. More To-Do tomorrow…
–Michael Moore

Moore continued with a list of ways that America can fix the broken electoral process:

“1. Eliminate the Electoral College — popular vote only.

2. Paper ballots only — no electronic voting.

3. Election Day must be made a holiday for all — or held on a weekend so more people vote.

4. All citizens, regardless of any run-ins with the criminal ‘justice’ system, must have the right to vote.”

Moore is saying something that many liberals have been asking themselves throughout every single presidential election. Why do we not just count everyone’s votes and determine a winner that way? Why the confusing electoral votes, and why are elections held in the middle of the week, when people have to work?

On December 19, the Electors of the Electoral College will cast their ballots. If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, they can vote for Hillary Clinton if they choose. Even in states where that is not allowed, their vote would still be counted, they would simply pay a small fine - which we can be sure Clinton supporters will be glad to pay!
We are calling on the Electors to ignore their states' votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton. Why?
Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic.
Secretary Clinton WON THE POPULAR VOTE and should be President.
Hillary won the popular vote. The only reason Trump "won" is because of the Electoral College.
But the Electoral College can actually give the White House to either candidate. So why not use this most undemocratic of our institutions to ensure a democratic result?
SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE.
There is no reason Trump
