The bill as constructed is dead.That better not pass….. I mean, that bill would be catastrophic and undermine a lot of what we’re trying to correct here!

I will phrase this one more time so perhaps your stoned head can grasp it. Slaves were not allowed to vote. Since they weren’t allowed to vote, there wouldn’t have been any reason to argue about them counting as 3/5ths for a population count of each state. The 1787 convention hemmed and hawwed over Congress choosing the President while others suggested that democratic elections by the people were better. The South would be outvoted as the North had a ton more white voters. Neither solution discussed satisfied enough states. This is how the electoral college came about. It was the only way the states would hold together as a nation. It was at that juncture that the compromise mattered. But the fact that large population centers of whites up north outpaced the Southern population was the driver. Slaves were only brought in the count for the formula for number of electors. They were not the reason for the electoral college itself.You are getting more off base and ridiculous on this topic Give up. You posted an article that explains clearly how slavery was the issue behind the EC, and you gaslight the board and said that it did not mention one word about slavery. 🤡
