I believe the dems promote the idea of “democracy” to give democrats credance. Our government is most correctly discribed as a republican form of governance. A representitive republic, republican if you will.
The Electoral College was pure genius by our founding fathers.
The USA Today County by County 2000-2004 Voting Map removed any doubts I had about the Electoral College. It caused me to review other questions I had about the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
