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.
NO!!!
Too bad, it’s never going to happen!
And when Democraps still don’t win

It’s in the constitution$#%&!@*Not that you know anything about the constitution or give a$#%&!@*about it
Retire to a senior home BITCH
MOVE LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD DO,OR HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN.
Tough$#%&!@*Grandma if you don’t like the electoral college. It was designed by the founding fathers so small populated areas have the same say as the larger areas at the ballot box. Idiots like this just want to get rid of the electoral college so the larger areas like California who are largely democrats can get their people in power. She is just another liberal whiner bitching that Hillary lost the election. The electoral college did not work in their favor so their solution is to end it. Hey we did not$#%&!@*when Obama won the college twice. We just sucked it up, and moved on. Look where that got us.
