Supporters of the Electoral College have been saying that saving the institution should not be a partisan issue, but in Colorado it turns out that it is.  The Colorado Democrat Party Platform calls for the abolition of the Founding Fathers’ stroke of genius to maintain the delicate balance in our republic. 

On page six of their party platform Democrats state:  “We call for the replacement of the Electoral College with the direct election of the President and Vice President of the United States.  We support adoption of the National Popular Vote Bill in a compact with other states.”

I’m not surprised that the Democrats call for the abolition of the Electoral College.  It is vital to our republic but not to the “democracy” that the Colorado Democrats would like to force on all of us.  Now I know where Andy Kerr gets his vision of American government.  Page six also states, “trustworthy elections are a cornerstone of democracy.”  Either they never learned we are a republic, or worse, they don’t care.
