It should be apparent that the institution of electoral politics known as the Electoral College is not only obsolete but a threat to American democracy.
The fundamental question one must answer is:
Does an institution that can favor a minority of voters over a majority in a presidential election represent the democratic principles as intended in the American Constitution?
In my lifetime, the Electoral College voted twice for a president the majority of American voters did not want.
The first, George W. Bush, was a moron who started two wars and created a near-total financial collapse.
The second, Donald Trump, is a demagogue, a habitual liar whose election victory is facing grave questions about its legitimacy.
In this case, 77,000 voters overruled 3 million voters.
Democracy in America is on a razor’s edge.
