The Constitution is for a federal government, not for a national one. You vote equally on a state basis. Each state has a number of Congressional districts apportioned by population, at least one, & relevant electoral votes. 2 states (NE and ME) assign by district, not WnrTakAll.

I agree that Ms. Harris needs to be judged on her own God-awful record and not for her past with Willie Brown. But let's point out Hillary Clinton, with the charisma of a turnip, would never have been elected without Bill Clinton. https://t.co/ujw7CWNA5y

Of course, for Trump, Harris & their vapid minions, the November election is the most important ever. For the rest of us, it's a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea; they are both grossly incompetent authoritarian Statists. The Dems are just faster on the road to hell.
