Without the Electoral College the city and county of Los Angeles would determine who wins our Presidential elections.
That is probably the most hyperbolic and asinine sentence you have ever written, sir.
Conservatives supposedly place value on individualism - there nothing individual about having other people vote for President for you which is exactly what an Electoral College elector does.
If your side has such great and wonderful ideas, why do your side need to cheat and steal elections?
We have the Electoral College because our government is supposed to be Constitutional republic not a democracy. The statement that you think is so "asinine" is a fact. Without the Electoral College the votes of the people in about 1/3 of the states would not count. Then to win a Presidential election all a candidate would have to do is campaign in the states with large populations. The candidates could and would ignore states with small populations. The idea behind the Electoral College is to force a Presidential candidate build a large coalition of voters from every state in the country. https://thehill.com/opinion/campaig...y-with-the-electoral-college-think-again
Republicans stealing elections? Would that be like the 1960 election that JFK stole? https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/n...-mitchell-admits-1960-election-obviously Then there is "Landslide Lyndon." There wasn't an election that LBJ was in where didn't steal votes. Or the big city Democrat machines that stole elections for decades. https://www.britannica.com/topic/political-machine When vote stealing by vote in our country's elections the difference is that of a misdemeanor, the Republicans. to multiple felonies, the Democrats.

You wouldn't know the truth if your life depended on it! When I read your comments pdx rick I am amazed at your arrogance and your ignorance! In this reply I have shown that you do not know what the hell it is you are talking about! You are wrong about the Electoral College and you are so wrong about which party has stolen votes that you should be embarrassed. You are a shining example of what Roger Scruton talks about in his book Fools, Frauds, and Firebrands.
The state can never straighten the crooked timber of humanity. I'm a conservative because I question authority. Conservative Revolutionary
