Fourteen U.S. Senators Were Elected without a Majority Vote

Out of the 100 U.S. Senators, currently 14 were elected with a number of votes that was less than 50% of the total vote cast for Senate. Dr. Eric Ostermeier calculates this is the largest number of such Senators since immediately after the 1996 election. See his analysis here.

  1. YET ANOTHER REASON TO ABOLISH THE ANTI-DEMOCRACY MINORITY RULE USA SENATE WITH ITS MANY BLOW-HARD ROBOT PARTY HACKS FROM THE MANY BELOW AVERAGE SMALL STATES.

  2. Nebraska survives with a ONE house (nominal) NONPARTISAN legislature since circa 1936 — but with not so undercover Elephants and Donkey hacks.

  3. The United Coalition of Candidates (UCC)

    The Unity Platform

    “Non-Aggression Principle (NAP)” By Mark Herd [Libertarian] for State Assembly, California, USA

    The United Coalition is pleased to live in the USA as citizens in a representative democracy.

    Our team is dynamic, will turn on a dime and the Unity Platform will be improved by us in 2018.

  4. Idiots. Idiots Everywhere. —

    who love minority rule gerrymander governments — such as the USA regime since 1789 and all 50 State regimes since 1776 and many local regimes in such States —

    akin to the old time Idiots who loved (and still love) divine right of kings, titles of nobility, slavery, etc.

    PR and AppV — regardless of ALL IDIOTS.

  5. Yes, the Senate is not a democratic institution, and was never intended to be. It is a FEDERAL institution, a purpose which has already been severaly damaged by making it an elected office.

  6. The USA Senate had its EVIL effects in causing Civil WAR 1 —

    the admission/creation of free/slave States in pairs from 1789 to 1861.

    About 750,000 DEAD on both sides in 1861-1865.

    Gee thanks — oligarch elite in the top secret 1787 Fed Convention.

    More rigging of Senate during/after the Civil War by Elephant gangsters — more States with small populations.

    The 1787 USA Const is a late DARK AGE document — full of EVIL and Vicious minority rule stuff — due to the conspiracy of the small and slave States in such oligarchy Convention.

  7. Of the four senators elected with a plurality from 1952 to 1966, one was Texas senator Ralph Yarborough, who won a special election in 1957 with 38.1%, in a 23-candidate field (21 D’s, 2 Rs’s). This led to the adoption of a Top 2 style runoff for special elections.

    In 1961, after LBJ quit his senate seat to become Vice President, John Tower led a 71-candidate field with 30.9% in the Open Primary, and 50.6% in the runoff, becoming the first popularly-elected Republican senator from Texas (there have only been five).

  8. The constitutional requirement that the US Senate contain an equal number of Senators per state is the most difficult provision of the Constitution to amend. It requires unanimous consent of each state. It would be easier to create new states.

  9. The 1777 Articles of Confederation amendment process was ignored by the oligarchs in the top secret 1787 Fed Convention — see Art VII.

    Last 2 AC States — NC and RI — both deemed *foreign* regimes on 4 Mar 1789 with new USA regime.

    The new Age CRISIS is N-O-W.
