Are you any better educated in the history of whatever shit hole country you come from than you are in ours?
The Electoral College was formed to ensure that all states had a say in the election of president. The colonies recognized that popular vote would have New York and Pennsylvania as the only ones with a say in the presidency. Philadelphia and New York City dwarfing the populations of the rest of the colonies. Virginia had no desire to trade a king in England for one in Philadelphia.
Now it is California and New York, but the reality remains that the densely populated urban centers do not represent the rest of the nation.
Now the shit hole you come from has a dictator appointed for life, right?
The Electoral College was formed so only Landowners could vote.
No women or blacks allowed. Totally out of date now.
No hun, it wasn't due to such identity politics nonsense. It was set up due to the competing interests of the States.
Are you denying that Electoral College was set up for landowners to vote?
How many years did it take women and blacks to get the vote?
Where does it say landowner, hun?
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
Study your history,Dear.
I notice you have no comment on women and Slaves getting the vote.
Slaves were classified as 2/3 humans.
Study your history, hun. Slavey was outlawed over 150 years ago, and blacks and women have the vote now because of the design of The Constitution.
Slavery is still practiced in quite a few places in the world today. Women are not allowed to vote in quite a few places in the world today. I doubt you have the intellectual honesty to wonder why.
