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.
So much for her upholding the Constitution which I believe is pretty much her job description.

LIBERAL VIEW OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE
Before Trump: “There are very good reasons to keep it.”
After Trump: “It’s an instrument of white supremacy and sexism.”
Can’t stop laughing! Thanks for the visual…we all need to laugh more.

“You seem to consider the federal judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions, a very dangerous doctrine, indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.”
-Thomas Jefferson, Letter to William Charles Jarvis (1820)

“Whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers, it’s acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.”

We would like to change having corrupt judges like you if you take an oath to uphold and respect the constitution you need to do it we don’t care about your corrupt opinions we care about you doing what is right if you can’t do your job right then maybe you need to let someone else do it
I’d like to change the people on the Supreme Court, namely, her.
