When the U.S. government spends money on things it shouldn’t, the few things it’s uniquely authorized to do get neglected
Time for a constitutional reset

Why do you assume we have an “Electoral College problem”?
Mike Lee retweeted
Anyone who wants to abolish the electoral college in favor of the popular vote doesn't understand the sovereignty of each individual state. The electoral college prevents the presidency from being decided only by the largest cities. Smaller states and less populated areas still matter in our republic!

The Electoral College is great.
Without it elections in the US would utterly break down. The great benefit of the system is that it is DECISIVE and resistant to corruption, cheating, or tampering.
If we switched to a National Popular Vote via the Interstate Compact as they as Democrats say try to force through, we'd end up with a lot more disputed elections and ultimately a President elected by a bare plurality (think 30% of the vote, not a majority.)
Electoral College also makes it REALLY hard to cheat, because cheaters don't know which of the 51 separate elections they'd have to rig beforehand.
Thus, fraud is MUCH less likely to impact result.
That'd be truly awful in the country, as we know from other countries that such govts quickly lose legitimacy. Russia runs its elections like this.
And this is all before we discuss the incentive changes a National Popular Vote would have...all of which would make more extreme a lot more attractive and make creating a governing consensus MUCH harder.
As for the inevitable accusations that I'm just writing this because I'm a partisan hack who wants to see Republicans win...
Well, I wrote this blog post BEFORE the 2012 election...which basically says EXACTLY the same thing.

To TLDR: People who want to get rid of the Electoral College have LITERALLY NO IDEA of the damage that would do to American's faith in elections.
Sacrificing faith in the electoral system because Democrats are losing is utterly shallow partisan hackery.

🚨PLEASE HELP🚨 - This is for a project I'm working on which may lead to important changes in Utah.
Will everyone comment below examples of anti-conservative bias from Utah's media ecosystem? Here's a thread from @RealTStevenson to give you an idea of what I'm looking for. I need as many examples as you can send me.
These can be from KUTV, KSL, Deseret News, BYU Radio, BYUTV, ABC4 ... anyone who does journalism in Utah.
Drop them below and help me create an archive.

Stephen Miller = badass COS
EXCLUSIVE: White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller Has Enacted a Total BAN On Unauthorized Meetings with Lobbyists and Special Interests by White House Staff
This is a marked break from his predecessor and a signal that there is a massive crackdown coming against corrupt DC influence. Here is the memo just sent to all White House Staff:
“No President in history has fought more relentlessly, selflessly or courageously for the American People than President Trump.”
“Following his example, White House staff are expected to dedicate their time unwaveringly to the working people of the nation.”
“White House staff must receive prior approval from the Office of White House Counsel for meetings on the White House complex with registered lobbyists related to government policy.”
“For any questions regarding industry outreach, please consult the Office of Public Liaison (OPL), which will continue to serve as the primary point of contact for engagement with external stakeholders.”

The Church proactively funds numerous arms of anti-conservative journalism through BYUtv, Deseret News and Bonneville Media
It is dividing church members regularly.
Recently I reached out to top LDS media relations because their BYU tv channels were running non-LDS podcasts talking about God being a woman on the SUNDAY following the death of Elder Jeffrey Holland
TLDR: McKay Coppins is “Team Blutah” and @Deseret is giving him an LDS Church owned platform to push his politics.
If Deseret News wants its “Deseret Voices” podcast to be balanced then they need to, at a minimum, add a 3rd host who is politically conservative.

BREAKING: Mormon Women for Ethical Government co-founder and speaker Melissa Dalton-Bradford paints Republicans as fascist authoritarians and draws N*zi comparisons in lecture at Southern Utah University. | By @TMoss2123

Utah’s elite class don’t care about actually following the prophet when he says to be a peacemaker. They care only about moving Utah further left.
By platforming this woman, who compares all Republicans to Nazis (the most contentious and dangerous thing I can think of since Republicans are getting shot and beat up on campuses because of it) @Deseret shows a stunning lack of self-awareness and violates the principles of the church that owns it.
