Still serves an important purpose. A little protection from 10% of counties dictating to 90%, 17% of states dictating to 33%, 10% of land
mass dictating to 90%. That makes the risk of 49% dictating to 51% a minor risk by comparison. Different states, counties, climates, cultures, values, etc have very different needs and should not be controlled by those in 10-20%.
Of course the electoral college is a joke to you that live in the 10% that would like to control the whole country. Looking at the f'ed up mess that California, Illinois, and New York governments are in, thank God those people don't run the country! Seven years after the recession, only California still owes money to the rest of us for unemployment.

I said he didn't run to get the popular vote. They both ran to get the 270 Electoral votes College votes. Jan 03, 16:16
As the book pointed out, Trump actually ran to lose and start his own TV channel. {nm} Jan 03, 16:25
i suspect almost everyone on this board cares less about the process and more about the outcome {nm} Jan 03, 16:12
If you wanna blow up the system. Fine by me but let's do it before hand instead of ****ing after the fact. {nm} Jan 03, 16:18
it's not a new complaint. everyone has known what a joke the electoral college is since 2000 {nm} Jan 03, 16:19

No, the Electoral College is the constitutional standard. See article above on Electoral College. {nm} Jan 03, 19:02
