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.
And we want to make the Supreme Court accountable to the people… Both not going to happen.
He’ll no. Small states will lose power.
Now there’s a$#%&!@*
There are some things I’d like to change; mostly these idiot liberal judges.
Not going to happen
Well let’s see judge you font have the authority to do so. Your job is not to legislate but only to up hold hold and determine. Just put your retirement papers in and go sit in your rocker at home in a corner and cry or something.
You are not going to be alive much longer….good dream tho

ELECTORAL COLLEGE
NEVER FORGET THE GENIUS OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS
There are 3,143 counties, parishes, boroughs, etc in the country.
Of those, just 146, or just 4.6%, comprise fully 50% of the country’s population.
How would 95.4% of the country’s counties feel about having no say in the election of the President?
How would we feel today about having Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York City, et al, electing our President?
WOULDN’T THAT BE OH SO SPECIAL ?
Again and again and again, we see the genius of the Founding Fathers.
