Raskin: ‘The Electoral College is an Accident Waiting to Happen’

‘We have to deal with that at some point in American history, why not now’
By Grabien Staff

RUSH EXCERPT:

RASKIN: "Obviously, we’re gonna need some legislative changes to the criminal code, to account for, now the possibility of presidents taking a headlong rush at seizing the presidency. But there are federal statutes out there that will do the job. We have course have seditious conspiracy. We have conspiracy to interfere with the federal proceeding, which I think everybody can agree took place here. After, all the whole chant was stop the steal. And they bummer the Capitol. They assaulted federal officers, all in order to interfere with a federal proceeding. That everybody agrees that’s exactly what took place, it did happen by accident, it wasn’t spontaneous. Even if it were spontaneous, of course, there are people who agreed to go in together and do it. But this thing was planned. So, yeah, I think that we will have to look at some new federal statutory changes. And we have to look at the way that the electoral system itself is vulnerable to strategic bad faith actors like Donald Trump. The Electoral College is an accident waiting to happen and we have to deal with that at some point in American history. Why not now."
