So New York and California get to control the entire nation and tell farmers in the mid west they have no say in how to run their farms. The electoral system is to protect the nation from dumbshits like you who think you are smarter than everybody else and get do dictate everyone's life style.

It gives lesser populated states equal voice on election day.

I also stops this nation from becoming a giant socialist / communist ghetto.

All democrats want popular vote because you have the numbers in your giant ghettos where you have the masses believing / bullshitted that they need the government to survive and make decisions for them. Just like open borders guarantees a democratic vote, just like releasing criminals from prisons gaurantees a democratic vote.

Never going to happen.
