It’s time to do away with the electoral college. And the sooner, the better.

No it isn;t time to get rid of it. It is about states’ rights, and having a larger base of people candidates have to be concerned about, rather than just a few states or a few big cities.

And besides, since when has an idea that a whole bunch of democrats wanted been a good one? Why are you so on board to give them what they want? You think they know better about the Electoral College than the founders?

Whyever do you say that?

The Founding Fathers had good reasons for employing the Electoral College, as opposed to direct popular election.

Do you know what they were?

Why are they no longer applicable?

Certainly an elaboration of the justification of that that post/rationale is forthcoming.

Please ping me to it.
