Neither is this:We are INTENTIONALLY not a Democracy
We are a Representative Republic.
Majority makes the rules while protecting minority rights.
That is the anthesis of Majority Mob Rule.
Again, this is not this hard.
"The National Popular Vote bill has been enacted by 16 jurisdictions possessing 196 electoral votes, including 4 small states (DE, HI, RI, VT), 8 medium-sized states (CO, CT, MD, MA, NJ, NM, OR, WA), 3 big states (CA, IL, NY), and the District of Columbia.
"The bill will take effect when enacted by states with 74 more electoral votes.
"The bill has passed at least one chamber in 9 additional states with 88 more electoral votes (AR, AZ, ME, MI, MN, NC, NV, OK, VA). A total of 3,408 state legislators from all 50 states have endorsed it."
Allowing the POTUS to be elected by voters in a handful of swing states doesn't represent a republic or democracy; if you're afraid of popular sovereignty, move to Russia or China.
Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote
Totally does not understand how the constitution was set up.
