And if for a minute ifYou think Republicans wouldn't take issue to winning the popular vote and losing 2 presidential elections. Your a partisan hack.
Wyoming has three electoral votes and a population of 586,107, while California has 55 electoral votes and 39,144,818 residents. Distributing the electoral vote evenly among each state’s residents suggests that individual votes from Wyoming carry 3.6 times more influence, or weight, than those from California

the snowflakes are saying the electoral college was implemented because of racism and slavery. Nothing like revising history to fit your narrative, next they’ll say it was all hitlers idea.

Of course, voter suppression of slaves was a big concern in the late 1700’s

Not really. The more populous states have more members in the House and so their votes carry more weight in the legislation that Congress passes. The one check that is constitutionally left (since the 17A created election of Senators by popular vote instead of appointment by state legislators) to smaller states from being tyrannized by larger ones is the Electoral College. Otherwise, what is the necessity for the existence of different states. Do you believe that states are necessary? |
