The real reason we have an electoral college instead of using the popular vote

[NYcarbineer]

Nope. Not because of some visionary genius by the Founders. Not some remedy for small states vs. large states, or rural vs. urban.

Like just about everything else in the history of America, it was connected to race, and slavery.

To put it simply -

Slaves couldn't vote, but they were counted at 3/5ths apiece to determine congressional representation.

The Southern states were thus at a disadvantage if the popular vote were to determine the winner,

but they got a big boost by the use of electors representing the size of their congressional delegations, since the counting of the slaves increased the number of house representatives those states were entitled to.

The Southern slave states got their way and that's where the electoral college comes from.

No it's because the founders knew people like you would be voting and they said Hell no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and they wanted smaller states to have a little more power......it worked well and is awesome!!!!!

You're wrong.

The state that gained the most from the implementation of the electoral system was VIRGINIA.

Virginia was the most populous of the original thirteen states. And had the most slaves.

Translation: We should abolish the Constitution because it has the 3/5ths clause.

Thanks, got it. Disagreed.

Moron does not even know that the 3/5 vote is anti-slavery.

Nor that without it, the Constitution would never have been ratified. We'd have been either 13 independent states, two different grouped nations or something in between.

[TNHarley]

The electoral college was basically a compromise to the small states. Doesn't matter. From what I have read, they didn't want to do a popular vote anyways. They knew you dilapidated bag of dumbfucks would fuck everything up.

The southern states actually wanted slaves to count as full people, so no, they did not entirely get their way.

The fight over congressional representation and who gets to elect the president were two different arguments.

Proof of what? That slaves were counted 3/5ths towards congressional representation? That slaves couldn't vote?

What do you need proof of?

Wrong. The 3/5ths compromise gave a state like Virginia a boost of about 175,000 in population to be counted towards determining the number of House Representatives Virginia got.
