The electoral college hedges against tryanny by the majority and legitimizes the lower populated states forceing the government to represent them as well as population centers.
I dont want to hear about the smaller states not getting a fair shake. Those residents can move to a more populated state. There is a solution to every problem.
I messed up on here a while ago saying that 14 states passed laws requiring the person running fire president to win that state by popular vote only. It's actually 8 and 6 are on it's way. It will be a total of 170 electoral votes to ne won by popular vote. Hell, that should have been done decades ago.
@itsjustme2919 Well then let me point out the following fact: Except for 3 times the elected president also had the popular vote, one of those times was Bush Jr. Come again?
@itsjustme2919 Thank god for sombody else with a brain

@prooc What's wrong with that? It makes perfect sense to appeal to the more populated areas.

@BudmaudeY Well, All I am saying is history repeats itself. As a history major I would know.

yes. I thought it was stupid, until someone actually pointed this out to me:
Hitler, elected by popular vote
Napolean III, popular vote
Mussolini, popular vote
Chavez, popular vote
this is how dictators come to power, then go too far.
