Only because it gives the smaller states a voice, and the big states dont' like that
Here;s an idea...
do the election, total the votes, highest total wins the state.
State gets one vote each.
Candidate with the most states wins the election
That was one of the original systems proposed.
Half the congressional congress believed that presidential elections should be decided by popular vote, and the other half thought that presidential elections should be decided by state votes. The electoral college was the compromise between the two.
If you go with your idea, then the 500,000 people that live in Alaska have equal representation to the ten million people that live in Michigan, which gives the potential to elect a president that is vastly unpopular with the majority of Americans.
That's what pisses the left off - they want the government having complete control over the people.Actually certain cities in those states. Most counties in California and New York are RED.
Most counties have no people in them.
You all do not get the danger of mob rule. You fools tote the bag for the commie left who hate the fact that they cannot control the country.
Mob Rule is what we got with Trump, buddy. An angry mob voted for him beause they were mad at the govenrment, not because they thought about the consequences.
The electoral college does not allow them to control it. Why? Cause the power is in the states and not concentrated in just a few cities. Which, would be far easier for the commies to control.
You don't get it, cause you cannot see the long term ramifications of mobacracy. Which is what makes you a tool.
Every other Democracy elects through parliaments or by popular vote. Nobody else does something as crazy as giving an out sized vote to smaller states because 200 years ago, a bunch of guys who crapped in chamber-pots didn't trust each other.
That is why we are a Constitutional Republic and not a Democracy.
The Constitution stops the Government from being in complete control over the people.
The Constitution IS the government. Goddam you people sometimes...
YES!
Which guarantees us a Republic form of government, not a Social Democracy.
Where'd you learn about the American government, public school or something? Go educate yourself.That's what pisses the left off - they want the government having complete control over the people.Most counties have no people in them.

But there is nothing specific or unique to the definition of a Republic that demands that small states within a Republic be given power disproportionate to their size and/or population.

Many of the states that benefit from the electoral college are large. Florida for example.
Basically the system necessitates that a presidential candidate spend all their time in six states making promises only to six states.

If you can prove that a Republic, to be a republic, MUST give small states disproportionate power,
then prove it.

If posted the transcript and you're replying to my comment where I said I posted the transcript, dufus.Yet another ignoramus who didn't bother to watch the video or read the transcript.
The fact that you keep crying for us to watch the video rather than relaying its arguments, tells me that either you did not watch the video yourself, or did not understand it.
I sit corrected on NC.
As to the Cuban thing, that's tit for tat.
If I say that Hispanics should come ere legally I'm a racist.
If I say that folks with a penis should pee in the men's room I am a Homophobe, see how that works?
More people and more states voted for Donald Trump than for Hildabeast... snowflakeTara Ross does an excellent job of displaying the brilliance of why the Founding Fathers established the Electoral College. Share with your friends to educate them.
Why? Its actually a kind of stupid idea. I guess it kind of worked when you had 13 states that didn't really want to be in the same country... and they expected Congress to select the president, not the EC.
But today, when you can accurately count all the votes in one day... No so much.
Let's look at what's wrong with it.
1) Some asshole who the people didn't want can win if he marginally wins enough states.
2) If you state is demographically homogeneous, your vote doesn't count and no one spends a lot of time in your state.
3) A very small group can hold a state hostage- Yes, I'm looking at you, Cuban Americans in Florida.
4) It makes it impossible for third parties to grow. - Hey, remember when everyone spent all their time telling us how much they hated BOTH of these candidates. Yet a third party never gained any traction.

The Founders had no intention of creating a pure majority-rule democracy. They knew from careful study of history what most have forgotten today, or never learned: pure democracies do not work.
They implode.
Democracy has been colorfully described as two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner. In a pure democracy, bare majorities can easily tyrannize the rest of a country. The Founders wanted to avoid this at all costs.
Because the system encourages coalition-building and national campaigning. In order to win, a candidate must have the support of many different types of voters, from various parts of the country.
Most people think that George W. Bush won the 2000 election because of Florida. Well, sort of. But he really won the election because he managed to flip one state which the Democrats thought was safe: West Virginia. Its 4 electoral votes turned out to be decisive.
The Electoral College also makes it harder to steal elections. Votes must be stolen in the right state in order to change the outcome of the Electoral College. With so many swing states, this is hard to predict and hard to do.
But without the Electoral College, any vote stolen in any precinct in the country could affect the national outcome -- even if that vote was easily stolen in the bluest California precinct or the reddest Texas one.
And if the Popular Vote was the final word then California is the only state that would matter at the end of the day...
Clinton was losing the popular vote until California threw her over the top...
The Electoral College work but never for the Democratic Nominee ( well not since Andrew Jackson )...
Also you were never suppose to vote for the President, so let cut the shit and remember the voice of the people was suppose to be the Congress...
That is why we are a Constitutional Republic and not a Democracy.
The Constitution stops the Government from being in complete control over the people.
