If the US abandons the Electoral College

    There has been talk about this among the lunatics now in  control of the House, but this may be just whistling in the wind.

    I assume a constitutional referendum would be required for this but I don't know enough about their procedures to assess the possibility.


    What I'm fairly sure of though is that it would be a disaster for the US and probably globally.


    First it would certainly lead to secession of a number of states and the breakup of the US as we have known it. It would cease to be a global power as it is now.


    The consequences I see out of that is a possible Russian hegemony again over much of Europe and an expansion of Chinese power almost anywhere else it chooses.


    Comments anyone?
