I strongly believe that the Electoral College is one of the things that makes our Constitution the greatest political/legal document ever written.
Do you have an example of how the electoral college has produced a superior (above average at least) leader for the United States? How about any tangible benefit?
The purpose of the Electoral College is not to produce superior leaders. That is the responsibility of the American voters. It's purpose to balance the power of states with small populations against those with large populations.
Tell that to Hamilton and Madison. They'd be shocked you didn't understand their well written arguments,
You would think that after some 240-odd years of history that there would lots of easily identifiable tangible benefits resulting from "one of the things that makes our Constitution the greatest political/legal document ever written".
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete. R. Buckminster Fuller
