The Electoral College
Hillsdale “College,” the ultra-right-wing “academic” institution, writes:
A movement is growing, led by progressives—but supported by many well-meaning Americans—to change the way we elect our president. In effect, it seeks to do away with the Electoral College as devised by the Framers of our Constitution.
That’s why Hillsdale College is conducting a National Survey on Presidential Selection.
The electoral college was put into place in order to help white people better control their black slaves.
Its only effect post the Emancipation is to grant more power per capita to voters in states with small populations than voters in states with large populations. For instance, Wyoming gets one electoral vote for every 190K people; California gets one vote for every 727K. Therefore, if I lived in Wyoming, my vote would count 3.8 times more than it does now.
The only reason to preserve the electoral college is to favor the political sensibilities of people in states like Wyoming. If you want to ban abortion and increase the ownership of weapons of war, you adore the current system, because it’s grossly unfair to progressives.
