This unfathomably stupid professor thinks we are not a constitutional representative republic, and evidently doesn’t give a RAT’s @$$ about states’ rights.
Pure "democracy" is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
The "perfesser" must be laboring under the delusion that he is a wolf.
They all want us to be a ‘democracy’. That’s why they keep calling us that.
One benefit of the electoral college is that it reduces the impact and likelihood of attempts to cheat/rig elections in areas where one party has a huge numerical advantage. For example, if an area is voting 80/20 for Democrats, the outnumbered Republicans will have a hard time preventing the Dems from stuffing a few thousand more illegally-cast ballots into the Smartmatic. Whenever one side has a lopsided majority, it is easier to make the 80/20 split into a 90/10 split. But because of the electoral college, if they try this in New York, it won’t make a bit of difference, they will get the same number of electoral votes if they win 51/49 or if they win 100 percent to zero. Those Founding Fathers were very very smart!
