Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) said that eliminating the Electoral College would “silence” Iowans’ voices and those in many other states across America.
Sen. Ernst lambasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s claim that the Electoral College serves as nothing more than a “scam” and said it has a “racial injustice breakdown.”
Ocasio-Cortez said, “Due to severe racial disparities in certain states, the Electoral College effectively weighs white voters over voters of color, as opposed to a ‘one person, one vote’ system where all our votes are counted equally.”
Sen. Ernst blasted Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s contention, charging that eliminating the Electoral College would silence Iowa voices.
“Actually @AOC, eliminating the Electoral College would silence our voices here in Iowa and in many other states across the country,” Ernst said.
