The people who vote in the electoral college are not chosen by a few elites. They are chosen by...YOUR VOTE! Yes, the electoral college does have some problems, but it was chosen to keep our country from tyranny and mob hysteria. The people who go to the electoral college will go only if we vote for them. Otherwise, a different group of people vote in the college. What you fail to mention is that very few electors change thier votes. Electors only vote how the people of their state tell them to.

The electoral college was set up so that the idiots in this video

don't have their votes counted.

Democracy is neither good in theory or practice.

Most people can't run their own life or figure out how life

'works' and yet, these same people choose who will lead

the country?

You see the problem?

@navyseal100 what, exactly makes your electoral college vote the same way that you do? Popular Sovereignty has nothing to do with the electoral college, if that was the case, we wouldn't have one.

Thumbs up if you liked the Magic 8-Ball. :o)

Seriously, though - you'd be amazed how often I've found those things to be correct in predictions... - plays spooky music -

" I don't believe EC will be elim anytime soon. States would kill any effort for it since NPV goes vs their sovereignty"

The debate isn't over whether it will be, but whether it should be.

The states that would be in favor of the EC are the swing states, since the campaigning lives there. Over 90% of the money spent in '04 was in just a few states, primarily OH, FL, and PA.

It creates an interesting scenario when a person becomes president who didn't even receive the most votes.

"my point is still that urban voters are currently primarily Dems."

I agree. This holds true for every state as well though. Pennsylvania is considered a swing state despite the fact that it holds far more registered dems than republicans. The reason is voter turnout in the big cities tends to be lower. "NPV would focus on urban vs rural issues "

If that's the case then they already do, merely at a state level instead of a national one.

"You cannot make all voters "the same" since their concerns are largely determined by their region they live in. "

Well there you have it. You don't think that all votes should be counted equally. As long as I'm clear.

"The proponents of the NPV want to eliminate States Rights which the EC was created to protect. "

Wrong. The NPV assumes that the people are qualified to elect the president.

Read a history book. The EC was a compromise between direct election of the people, versus appointment by the House.

It kept people who were largely uninformed, due to the fact there was no TV, Radio or Internet, and you know, they had to spend 16 hours/day farming to survive, from having too much of a say in govt.
