Electors Choose

Clinton was the people’s choice
By two million votes or more
Other democratic states
Choose among their candidates
By majorities in score
Time’s long past to raise our voice

Drafters of the Constitution
Worried that the votes be cast
Only by men qualified
Smart, informed and gentrified
Choosing from among the best
A President to lead the nation

Thus the College of Electors –
Purpose served, now out of date
It distorts one’s voting score
Montana’s votes are worth much more
Than those of California State
Electors / Population factor

Change is needed in due course
To the US Constitution
In the meantime, what to do?
There’s a movement that is new
Change-dot-org has a petition:
Electors choose the people’s choice!
