Former Republican Maine Governor Paul LePage warned Americans that white people will no longer have a say in presidential elections should states eliminate the Electoral College.
One of the primary arguments against dismantling the Electoral College system is that presidential candidates would only visit the largest cities and centers of population rather than campaigning in small states and rural areas. “Why would we give the authority to Ohio, New York, Florida, Texas, California and Illinois?" he asked."Those five states will elect the president of the United States and we will never see another president or another candidate to Maine.”
“What would happen if they do what they say they’re going to do, white people will not have anything to say. It’s only going to be the minorities who would elect. It would be California, Texas, Florida,” LePage said before widening his argument to complain the country is adopting socialist policies."Why don’t we just adopt the constitution of Venezuela and be done with it? Let’s have a dictator because that’s really what you’re gonna boil down to.”Recent U.S.
