One purpose of the Electoral College is to prevent a limited number of pockets of dense population from determining the outcome of presidential elections. In that sense, it is a bit similar to the US Senate, and acts to give powers to the states as opposed to treating the country as one large electorate.
Without the Electoral College, the recent election would have been decided by heavily populated cities in the states of California and New York. With that in mind, voters could expect to see candidates spend the overwhelming majority of their time in geographical areas with dense populations, leaving those with sparse populations largely ignored.
Liberals chafe at the Electoral College for the same reason they are irritated by each state getting two senators regardless of population — it gives power to the states and recognizes them as significant political entities. It’s the same as the “states’ rights” argument which militates against a powerful national government. Hence, this is not a new argument at all, but one that goes back to the founding of our nation.
That liberals hate the Electoral College is illustrated by the comments of one Supreme Court justice. More on page two.
No thanks, we don’t want a few large cities telling the whole country how to live our lives. That is why we have the electoral college!
Election should be won & lost by the vote of the people. Not not some damn Electoral College. The goverment is suppose to be (” for the people , of the people & by the people!”)
Your time is up…..go crawl in a hole somewhere and cover yourself with dirt
There are some things I would like to change too. Removing this hag from the Supreme Court would be a great start.
Funny thing is if changed and it gos the other way they fight that as well. Our forefathers weren’t dumb but obviously some of us sure weren’t bless with common since. Being a judge I would think you were smarter than that.
