Opinion by Jennifer Rubin: “If there’s any chance a third-party effort could help Trump — who stands accused of deliberately seeking to tear apart our democracy — it should be stopped in its tracks.”
The irony — or outrage — is that this would reverse decades of progress by both major parties in making the presidential selection process more transparent and democratic.
Second, and far worse, the group’s plan is to throw the election to the House of Representatives by denying either major party a majority of electoral college votes. That in and of itself makes selection of the No Label candidate virtually impossible. This will be a partisan free-for-all.) the party with the majority in the most state delegations would get the presidency. And wouldn’t you know? Before the 2020 election, Republicans held 26 of the states; they presently hold 26.
In the wake of an indictment that alleges Trump lied, threatened and instigated violence to win states he knew he lost, No Labels is proposing a “solution” for our ailing democracy that would mean more chaos, turmoil and possible violence. This is madness, and as far from democracy as one could imagine.were possible because we have an intensely undemocratic, convoluted electoral college system to elect the president.
