I had a college educated friend tell me last year that the Electoral College needed to be done away with. She is a reliable Republican, not conservative enough for me.
I tried to explain how it works and how our fly-over-state would be ignored otherwise. She didn’t get it then. She “gets it” now.

I’ve had this conversation with my liberal friends. I tell them they are exactly right. We should do away with the electoral college as soon as everyone has voter ID. They call me a racist.
