This Democrat want to get rid of the ec and have America governed by a mass mob. Sure that will work out great. Wonder why the founders didn't think of that. They must be racist...
Don't care what a bunch of dead slave rapists would have thought...
The EC is a bad idea for a bunch of reasons.
1) It allows someone the people didn't want to become president. These presidents are always awful.
2) It prevents third parties from taking root and growing.
3) It disenfranchises people in the 40 or so states that aren't swing states.
4) It allows for the kinds of machinations we are seeing now done by Trump.
5) It runs that risk that the election could be thrown into Congress, which would not be a good thing.
6) It turns local issues into national ones, like Cuban-American butthurt in Florida or Ethanol subsidies in Iowa or Fracking in PA.
The sooner we consign it to the scrap heap of history, the better.
