Eliminating the Electoral College would undo one of the fundamental compromises that allowed the 13 colonies to come together as the United States. Any state would be fully justified in withdrawing from the union if its rights were violated by such a change in the basic compact under which it joined.

Excellent point. why is this so difficult for dems to understand?
If we allow the larger states to pick the president, we would be living in a tyrrany similar to that of the one we revolted against back then.

Times like this make me wish I lived in Texas.
