The Electoral College is under threat and the left is closer than it ever has been in getting rid of it.
This was the topic of an event Wednesday at The Heritage Foundation, where speakers explained why the Electoral College is so important, how it has been a bulwark of a free society, and the increasing danger it faces from those who want to abolish it.

WASHINGTON – During most of Donald Trump’s time in the White House, Silicon Valley could regard the legal threats Republicans hurled its way as a sideshow: unfocused, unserious, untenable.
But a campaign launched in a cauldron of conservative grievance over censorship allegations, complaints of “woke” corporate values and the power wielded by a few Bay Area billionaires has, in former President Trump’s absence, morphed into something far more worrisome to big business.
To be a conservative at this moment should give you an immense feeling of pride.
Looking back at 2020, it is stunning to see how many of The Heritage Foundation’s ideas were embraced by members of Congress, by the administration, and by allied think tanks and grassroots leaders across America and around the world.
Conservative solutions have proven across time and place to be the only way to ensure the survival of our nation and see us through challenging events like the ones we faced in 2020.
Think about the COVID-19 pandemic. Americans are faring better in states where policymakers have followed Heritage’s recommendations and not imposed sweeping COVID-19 lockdowns, but rather used data to determine whether and where such rash measures are even necessary.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and the entire left seem monomaniacal about systemic racism. In their minds, 1958 never ended, and Bull Connor’s Birmingham, Alabama, stretches from coast to coast.
Addressing a joint session of Congress on April 28, Biden said that “with the plans outlined tonight, we have a real chance to root out systemic racism that plagues America and American lives.” On Feb. 17, Biden told a CNN town hall: “I think we have to deal with systemic racism that exists throughout society.”
