The Electoral College helps guarantee the people in charge of electing the president are educated on both candidates and their beliefs/intentions. When voting, a majority of the population is voting for a candidate for the wrong reasons.

The American Population is not enlightened enough to give a reliable rationale on why they chose the president, especially with new empty promises that are constantly thrown their way.

And where is most of the american population concentrated? Cities like NYC, LA, Chicago, etc. National elections are not about the individual, its about the collective. It's not about the worth of the individual's vote, its about the worth of the collective vote of the community. And in a popular vote, the collective vote of the cities would drastically outpower the collective vote of rural communities. And it's almost never near 50/50, it's usually 70/30 or even 75/25 in these areas. Wyoming and West Virginia doesn't have any big cities, almost all rural areas with…  Read more
