McConnell issues smackdown of Kentucky Dem governor's call to abolish the Electoral College

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Friday blasted his home state's Democratic governor, who recently called for the Electoral College to be abolished.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said Wednesday the country needs to "move to a place where seven states don’t decide the presidency." 

"We’ll have better government. We’ll have better politics. We’ll have better elections when we get to that point," the governor said at a gathering of Democrats in Lexington, according to the Kentucky Lantern.
