I would also like to have an electoral college at the state level so Dallas and Houston and Austin don’t decide how I do rural life

The difference between a republic and a democracy. Democracy is majority rule every time. Our republic has checks and balances.

I’m hoping Trump wins the popular vote this year. I’m also hoping it would shut people up about abolishing the electoral college.

As I have said in another video this morning in my comments, these people on the left who call for abolishing the electoral college, are not the slightest bit interested in minority rights in the least. If they really cared about minorities voices, they would be very much in favor of the electoral college. It's not a popularity contest, folks. This isn't like voting for high school homecoming queen. The concept that might makes right, has dominated human history for tens of thousands of years. The thing that makes the United States such an incredible country, in part, is that we have turned out on its head, and given everyone a voice, not just rich people, not just landowners, not just men, everyone of adult age, gets a voice. Abolish the electoral college, and you're basically telling people in less populated states that their voices don't matter at all. You may think they are all Republicans, in the rural areas, but that just isn't true, nor has it always been true. And it could change at any time. And you people on the left might, one day, come to find out that those voices could make a huge difference in winning an election for your candidate.

Why not just allocate electoral college votes proportionally i.e if a state has 20 electoral college vote one candidate gets 35% of the vote they get 7 electoral college votes and if another candidate got 45% of the vote then they get 9 electoral college votes.
This would still preserve the electoral college vote but would more accurately reflect voter's preferences and in theory give more room for third parties to emerge.

We must make voting more difficult so that the uninformed and ignorant stop pushing the country into childish directions.

Women, such as her, shouldn't be allowed to vote. Repeal the 19th.
@HorribleDonkeyHoof Says:
I understand that when a party loses the electoral votes, they say it’s outdated and needs to be abolished. But on the other hand, if they win the electoral college, they praise it.

We should abolish the 19th amendment.

the ultimate democracy would be that the whole world vote something about USA’s affairs. There are more people outside the USA than inside. Why should the USA decide for example how many immigrants to accept at one time when Indians really really want to be in the USA? Yeah, but that is a country. So? The states are legal entities too.
or something for her little brain, because women understand only things that directly benefits them, the people vote to take her shit away, or bring some immigrants to live in her home. It’s democracy, no? What? She has rights?
Either that, or leave the states and the people in them to have their own identity and do their own thing.

The states vote
You are voting as a member of your state…
The president is the executive of the states and is elected by the states.

The electoral college was established to ensure that each country in our federation of countries had a vote in electing the president of the federation.
However more populous states would object to each state getting one equal vote for president and less populous states would object to each person in each state getting a vote for president. So they developed this brilliant compromise to ensure that each state got to vote for president but the more populous states would have a larger share of the vote.
This brilliant idea gives each of the the 50 countries a vote for the president of the federation of 50 countries while giving a proportional weight to the vote of the more populous countries in the federation.
Our founders really were a group of brilliant people.
