We do not need the Electoral College anymore. It was for a time when people couldn't read, and it was based on wealthy white men. (I mean women didn't even get to vote since 1920 and blacks till about 1869, and the poor white men couldn't vote till around 1856. They then made laws based on literacy and then they came out with you had to pay to vote.

It is left over Racial Discrimination and status discrimination. We need to put an end to the EC.

"We need to put an end to the EC"?

Who is this "we" you speak of? Because all I see is some doofus with an internet account.

When people start talking nonsense about "justice" and the crap hits the fan, all that's left holding the bag is "Just us."

Penny, if you were to abandon the misandry, what argument would remain for doing away with the EC?

That should be “a normal person”. Damn cell phones.

 

[Penelope]

We no longer can trust the Electors, known as "faithless electors". I doubt if we ever could.

A notable feature of the 2016 Electoral College vote was the record number of so-called “faithless electors” – electors who cast their ballots for someone other than the official nominee of the party they’re pledged to represent.
The five Democratic electors who voted for people other than Clinton included three from Washington State who chose Colin Powell and another who chose Yankton Sioux tribal elder Faith Spotted Eagle, and one from Hawaii who voted for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s rival in the primaries. In addition, the two Texas electors who spurned Trump voted instead for Ohio Gov. John Kasich (whom Trump had defeated in the primaries) and former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul.
Trump’s victory another example of how Electoral College wins are bigger than popular vote ones
