1 Quite the contrary, not only is the EC NOT OUTDATED, it is more important now in 2018, than it ever has been Important to counter the method of the Democratic Party to try to grab power in America, by stacking cities with illegal aliens (who generally all vote Democrat) The EC is exactly the safeguard we have to prevent this abuse (using foreigners to unbalance our voting population) of our democracy.The 2016 election results were finally announced and Hillary had over 2 million more votes than Trump. Due to our system, this was not enough to announce a definitive winner. Therefore the next step was to send the election to the grossly outdated Electoral College System which was supposed to have its own election by special electors from districts throughout the country. The assumption being that the electors would accurately be the voice of the citizens in their districts. The phrase used to describe electors that accurately reflecting the voting of their districts is to call them "faithful" electors, meaning they did not simply chose their own choice of candidates without respect of how the people in their district voted. So the terminology that was used to describe their electors, representatives of districts was "faithful" when they accurately reflect how the people in their district voted. The 2016 Electoral College vote had many "unfaithful" electors that did NOT reflect the voter decisions in their districts. In short, the 2016 Electoral College vote is a huge case in point to abolish the system because the representative "electors" did NOT reflect the voting of their voters in their districts.
We have excellent computers now in 2018 and America is perfectly capable of using the raw vote directly from citizens instead of maintaining an archaic, dysfunctional Electoral College system. 2016 was the perfect example of why the Electoral College system needs to be abolished and election raw votes on computer simply used to calculate who wins and who loses.
2 "More" votes than Trump is irrelevant. All that matters is the number of AMERICAN votes In that, Trump won easily. Without their stacks of illegal foreign voters, Democrats cannot win any election in America, and they know it. That's why they;'re fighting so hard to keep the DACA people here.
3. Please provide a shred of evidence that the EC "had many "unfaithful" electors that did NOT reflect the voter decisions in their districts" ? If so, let's hear it (other than from liberal fake news media)
