MAGA pastor Shane Vaughn admits that the GOP Senate nominee Herschel Walker lost because Republicans "don't have the majority of the population," and that's how races are won. But he wants to change that by repealing the 17th Amendment because Republicans are losing elections.

What the Mississippi pastor is calling for would take away the right of each state's voters to elect their U.S. Senators by creating an Electoral College-style system for each state.

"The only way we ever have a Republican president is the Electoral College," Vaughn said during a live stream event last Thursday. "We cannot defeat the population centers without the Electoral College."

"The entire state [of Georgia] is conservatives, all rushing to the polls," Vaughn continued. "They came to the polls that day and blew the numbers out of the water. They were winning their state, they were turning their state in the right direction until they hit that blue area called Atlanta, Georgia."

"Good try, all you great citizens of Georgia," he continued. "But you have a problem: Your voice doesn't matter because you don't have the majority of the population. So therefore, you really shouldn't have even shown up to vote because we're going to stop you in the population centers. And I looked across that state, and I said, 'You know what? Everyone in that state is a conservative except for those two blue dots.' And that's when it hit me like a stroke of genius: That's what the Founding Fathers feared for the nation, but what they feared for the nation is happening in the states. The office of a senator is just like the office of the president; it is a statewide campaign. It is statewide! Therefore, I am of the opinion that the only way to save the Senate in the United States of America is that the Senate elections should also be done by the Electoral College of a state."

Watch:

Yes, that's how it works. There are red areas and blue areas. The majority is supposed to determine the winner, you chud.
