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.
The electoral college that keeps America honest. The popular vote takes the votes away from all the people.
I would like to change AGE limits for those making major legal decisions. All of us know, sadly, that the older we get , the less we function mentally . She is a good argument for replacement.

Judges aren’t supposed to make the laws only enforce the law.The law makers are the citizens and their elected officials. But sadly to many judges make the law.Like sates voting to ban gay marriage only to have a liberal judge overturn the will of the people.All judges that make their own laws should be disbarred for life.If they get so much as a cup of coffee for giving someone legal advice it should be a minimum One year in prison.Time we hold Judge’s feet to the fire.If judges don’t follow the rule of law why should anyone else.
Not in your lifetime!
When is she leaving?
