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.
F**k you
Dementia

THIS EVIL OLD DINGBAT NEEDS TO GO !!!

One thing we would like to change is the seat on the Supreme Court occupied by Ruth Ginsberg…do America a favor and die or resign…either one is acceptable.
Got to jump in here. I did not see anything in Garys post where he denigrated her opionion because she is a woman. As for her wanting to do away with the electorial college why now? How long has she been in her position? a miilion years and NOW she wants to step up. What you said gary said sounds like that stuff they call f**e news, I was not said at all, but lets just say it anyway and see what happens. Not helpfull. As for the party of Hate, lets forget partys for now. People are rioting in the streets, attacking and beating innocent people and children for simply voting or wear a certain hat. Destroying personal property, burning the American flag. Backing criminal instead of our police officers. Supporting open borders so people who practice sharia law, kill gays and think it is ok to have a wife under the age of 10 and a thousand other evils can creep in like a cancer. I can say that no political party is perfect..But i can say I know what party supports all of the above, and so does the majority of MORAL America, I want my child & my grand children to be as safe as they can be. Dont you?? ..
