Dem. Rep. Himes Calls on Electoral College to Undo Trump Victory

‘There’s all sorts of phrases about the majority acting in a way that perhaps the electorates don’t agree with that the Electoral College can step in’

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "Are you suggesting that the Electoral College should take away the results of the election?"
HIMES: "The Electoral College, if you read "The Federalist" papers and understand why it is there, it is a group of people. It is not an algorithm. It is not a set of balance. It is a group of people that our founding fathers, you know, to whom supposedly we all sort of defer to pledge the idea that if somebody gets elected who has manifestly ill equipped to be president. And there's all sorts of phrases about the majority acting in a way that perhaps the electorates don't agree with that the Electoral College can step in."
