Like it or not, the Electoral College is functioning exactly as the
founding fathers intended: It keeps the large population centers from
dominating the executive branch. You may not like the middle of the
country but the people who live ther are entitled to have a say in
things.

The EC functions as it did when this was a small, compact country with
an equally small population. I can't think of another "modern" country
where the head of government is selected by other than who gets the most
votes. I also don't think sparsely populated states should have the same
number of U.S. Senators as California, Texas, Florida, New York, et
cetera. There's no reason why the vote of an individual in North Dakota
should have the same number of U.S. Senators to access as an individual
in Texas.

The people do not elect the President. The people elect their Senators and
Congressmen. The state governing body chooses the electors. The state can
choose how they select the electors. The electors in most states, do not
have to vote for their candidate. California electors only have to vote
for their candidate on the first two ballots. After that they are free to
choose. For someone who claims a better education than any other here, you
are sorely lacking in practical knowledge.

I find Fat Harry lacking in a lot of ways.

Actually there is a reason - it ensures that all regions of the
country are represented equally - exactly as intended.

Actually, all the EC does is represent real estate, not people.

And that is what it was intended to do.

Since the people who choose to occupy that real estate and feed you
deserve representation too, it is exactly what I said. A departure
from the feudal system.
Without the Senate and the EC, nobody would pay any attention to the
middle of the country and the government would be controlled by about
a third of the states.

Fat Harry thinks he has a better way. If we followed his advice we could be
as successful as he is.

Truly spoken like the east coasters that the states were worried about
when they had those provisions put in the constitution. We did not
want a feudal society where the people in the castle ruled the rest of
the country. We left Europe and had a bloody revolution to get away
from that.
