The Electoral College Exists to Uphold White Supremacy
This is something many of you already know, but Paul LePage just comes right out and says it, in case anyone was still hemming or hawing about it, talking about institutions and traditions and the Founders and whatnot.
Former Gov. Paul LePage (R) tore apart a bill currently in the Maine state legislature that proposes essentially eliminating the Electoral College in favor of the popular vote because it would only “be minorities that elect” the President.
According to a Thursday Maine Beacon report, LePage told local radio station WVOM that the legislation would render him and other whites “a forgotten people.”
“Actually what would happen if they do what they say they’re gonna do is white people will not have anything to say,” LePage said. “It’s only going to be the minorities that would elect. It would be California, Texas, Florida.”
Thanks for clarifying.
