Which is why this election is so important.

NONsense. A few states, typically blue states will do this. Then will come an election where a Republican get the majority of the popular vote (or even a plurality) but fails to get enough electoral votes — except the blue states that have opted for this put the Republican over the top electorally.

Besides. It does not matter. With the next census redistricting Red states — which are not going along with this horse hockey — will have enough electoral votes that the Dimmicrats won’t matter anywho.

You got that right!

Our Founders did not trust unregulated majorities. They knew that democracy (‘the tyranny of the majority’) had major flaws. These efforts to undermine the electoral college amount to nothing more than

(1) a crusade to maximize the power wielded by voters in urban areas, and virtually disenfranchise rural voters, and

(2) an affirmation of the belief that our Founders were simply a bunch of misguided white guys who were not capable of thinking beyond the eighteenth century.

The first would be deadly. The second is nothing more than leftist anti-liberty, anti-sovereignty, pro-elitist indoctrination.

Our Founders were far more prescient than the leftists are willing to admit. Many of them considered the voters of their own day woefully uninformed and ignorant of the issues, and they (correctly) predicted that that ignorance could worsen with time:

The people are uninformed, and would be misled by a few designing men … Constitutional Convention delegate Elbridge Gerry, July 19, 1787

The extent of the country renders it impossible, that the people can have the requisite capacity to judge of the respective pretensions of the candidates … Constitutional Convention delegate George Mason, July 17, 1787

A popular election in this case is radically vicious. The ignorance of the people would put it in the power of some one set of men dispersed through the Union, and acting in concert, to delude them into any appointment … Constitutional Convention delegate Elbridge Gerry, July 25, 1787
