We have to keep the Electoral College - it forces the Democrats to have to steal at least five or six swing states in a national election. We can’t let those guys get lazy!

To keep several of the most populated states/cities from determining who will be president; like five wolves verses three sheep voting on what’s for dinner.

The electoral college is to protect fly over country from being ruled over by the large population centers. Founding Fathers saw this coming.

A popular vote would mean CA, TX, FL, NY, and maybe IL basically call the shots and the other 45 states bow in submission. No smaller State is ever going to give up their EC vote.

Why The Electoral College Is Still Good For The United States

For non-conservatives, this article requires very careful reading.

But as a conservative, I'd file this article under the category, "Duh."

And the perfect case study for it is: The Democrat Party Cabal's massive election fraud in 2020.

Therefore, I give belated Congratulations to our Founding Fathers!

It’s what makes us “United States”

This is an over complicated explanation. The President of the United States is elected by the United States - it’s in the very name. The nation is made up of separate states joined together in a Union - it’s in the very name.

The American republic is a federation of 50 distinct sovereign entities.

If that is to change, then the Union should be dissolved.

<>The founders designed the Electoral College to moderate the influence of large states and big cities over small states and rural districts.<>

While that was an effect, a part of the compromise, the first purpose of the Electoral College was to elect men of the caliber of George Washington and not that of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or Joe Biden. That's exactly what we did in 2016 and 2020.

<>The dispersion of power between the states, especially in relation to the federal government, is among the greatest protections against a concentrated national tyranny.<>

Uh, the 17th Amendment destroyed the day-to-day dispersion of power.
