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.
You wanna change something for the good of the country? RETIRE!!

Go to hell you old fart,should be an age limit on Supreme court.
She is supposed to support Constitution!!!!!!!!!!
It’s like predicting that the sun will rise for her to attack the electoral collage is no shock after all that’s something the founding fathers implemented and recent history shows that the Democrats are in favor of changing the constitution to better suit their interests with no regard to the citizens that are affected.
Shut up and get over it.
