The Founders knew the EC was justified even back then.


Nov 3, 2020, 6:31 PM

The Electoral College is justified even today since half the of U.S. population live in just 9 states, mostly coastal areas, while 2/3’s live in just 16 states.

Saying.. the metro areas of NYC, Chicago, LA & SF alone comprise 14% of the U.S. population.

Example..in 2016 Trump won more states, thus more “popular” electoral votes from each..whereas Hillary won just a few large states that had huge populations and thus the popular vote..

but the popular vote is not what the Founder’s rules stated!

See Why!!!!!

so are you saying people who live in dense areas should count less? I mean small towns are small because nobody wants to live there. Why should they have more say?

That’s exactly right Balm.

Thank God the whole country doesn’t look like and act like and spend money they don’t have like LA and NYC!

and why do we care how many States the people live in? Keep in mind that land owning white men were the only ones who could vote back then, so yeah I can see why they might have worried about giving everyone an equal vote.
