DNC head Tom Perez falsely claims Electoral College 'not a creation of the Constitution'

  Article II  of the Constitution: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress."

Democrats, you may want to correct your party's leader on this one, or not... You keep allowing your party to do this crap, it could be awhile before you guys win an election again...

A Democrat saying something isn't in the Constitution?  That's impossible.  We all know they've never read it.

What a buffoon! I swear this bunch of rejects running the DNC probably can't even read or comprehend 3rd grade material...it isn't that hard.

Perez is an idiot. He also contradicted himself. If it isn't in the Constitution then it wouldnt require a constitutional amendment to remove it. 

To make matters worse, Perez made his statement at the Indiana University Law School.  Just for the record,   Article II  of the Constitution states “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.”

Perez added  “It doesn’t have to be there.” That last point is a bit hard to track.  I have been a long critic of the electoral college , but the only way to get it out of “there” would be a constitutional amendment.

Perez is an idiot.

Well, we can agree on that!
