And, this is a problem because . . . . . ??
Most here think we have an electoral college to keep Presidential candidates from ignoring small States. It just isn't true.
No, most people here know that a primary purpose of the Electoral College is to level the playing field between large and small states. Look at the election results from the past two presidential elections. Where did the Dem candidates get the most votes? Large, metropolitan cities. The Republican candidate usually won the smaller cities and towns and the rural areas.
Given that, were it not for the Electoral College, people in thos smaller urban and rural areas might never see a Dem presidential candidate. That's why the Dem Party keeps trying to con Americans into getting rid of the Electoral College. They don't like having a level playing field.

Not a problem for me. I read Madison's record.

Urban legend. Not true. Enjoy your ignorance.
