Over the past several months, the electoral college has been called into question. Some folks are pointing out that we have out grown this antiquated way of electing the president of the united states, and should use the national popular vote to elect the POTUS.

One thing that I have been saying is that the POTUS is the executive of the federal government that the states created, not of the people. The electoral college was set up to ensure that all the states have a voice in who becomes POTUS, not just the most populated ones.

And once again the electoral college worked the way it was suppose to. If we had a national popular vote, California would have decided who the next POTUS would have been, because all of Hillary’s 2 million plus votes over Donald came from California. If your for a national popular vote, do you want one state deciding who will be POTUS?

Daily Bible reading: Mal 3:13-18 “Your words have been harsh against Me,” Says the LORD, Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’ 14 You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God; What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, And that we have walked as mourners Before the LORD of hosts? 15 So now we call the proud blessed, For those who do wickedness are raised up; They even tempt God and go free.’ ” 16 Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name. 17 “They shall be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him.” 18 Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.
