I think a lot of people don’t know the difference between Representative Democracy and Popular Vote (majority rule). EC is another hurdle to tyranny.
I remember reading an article with the numbers. Don't remember the specific numbers, but basically, without LA, Chicago, and NYC, Dems would lose every national popular vote. Cities are like quarantine centers for people afflicted with mind viruses.
Democracy is what the retardicans and devolvocrats are trying to get to happen here. Because it’s so faaaiiirrr. They don’t realize it’s two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner. Well, they do as long as they are the wolves. I’ve totally lost faith in humanity. Most people are retarded.
The real problem with using the popular vote is that, in a close election, every vote in every state becomes suspect. With voting by state, only those few states with close results need to be scrutinized.
Looking at Jeff’s map, I couldn’t help but think, ‘if we move a few C&Cers toward the center and shave off the NE and W coast, we could take CO and NM.’

Too bad something like the EC can’t be done at the state level when it comes to choosing our governors.
Portland, Salem and Eugene control all of Oregon.
Perhaps, and this is a huge understatement, getting rid of mail-in voting would take care of the problem 😏

“Fly-over-states” maintain relevancy with the EC.
