The Left's Hypocrisy over Voting Rights

Liberal voting rights over the last several years includes trying to ensure convicted felons have the right to vote to the National Popular Vote law which would eliminate the Electoral College. The claim they want everyone's vote to not only count, but to count more. That said, I provide the reasons why eliminating the Electoral College would not make a person's vote count more, but less in my book Defending Freedom of Contract. Briefly the law would make a person's vote be one out of the 150 million votes cast in a national election instead of one out several million cast in a state. A better solution would be to have have the winner of each Congressional district win the Electoral Vote and the winner of the State win an additional two electoral votes. This would make a person's vote be one out of about 700,000 per congressional district. It would also force candidates to visit more states to fight over purple congressional districts. It is disingenuous for Liberals to say a person's vote count's more in a national popular vote than in the electoral college system.

Furthermore, the Iowa Caucuses illustrates exactly how disingenuous the Liberals are. Everyone is outraged that Trump won the election but lost the popular vote yet in Iowa Bernie Sanders won the popular vote but lost the delegate count. In the 2016 nomination Clinton received about 54% of the total popular vote to Sanders 46%. However, the super delegates were cast in favor of Clinton by over 95%. Something similar can occur again this year. To be angry about a system they employ is just hypocrisy. In fact, the liberals system is much worse than the electoral college because a candidate losing the popular vote in a state would never win more electoral votes than the winning candidate. In other words, in the Democratic primary system a person's vote count's much less.
