The name “United States of America” ought to provide some clues about the philosophy of the Electoral College.

The Constitution is written to allow the people to act through the states.

There has been a lot of talk about getting rid of the Electoral College by Democrat 2020 candidates.

That’s because they do not want to talk about the current growing economy and low unemployment.

If Democrats are having a problem with winning elections, they need to broaden their appeal.

That’s all there is to it.

The Electoral College has more to do with states’ rights than it does voting rights. Our Founding Fathers came up with a brilliant system that has outlasted all other modern attempts at constitutional republics.
