"Clearly, Trump supporters and, potentially, anyone who sees this sort of procedural move as a dirty trick, would object to this as antidemocratic. But voters’ preferences would still be reflected — albeit indirectly — in the decisions made by the state legislatures, whose members are elected by the people. And the existence of the Electoral College, no matter how electors are chosen, means that the people, technically, have already been indirectly selecting their presidents.

Do you also find it striking that the author points to the indirect influence of voter preferences, despite that fact that a great percentage of the electorate has realized that their elected representatives don’t, in fact, “represent”?
