Gore won the popular vote.

In general, but not always, the electoral college favors rural voters and slightly weakens big populous states that the Dems traditionally win.

The Electoral College is a mechanism that helps to protect and assert state’s rights.

Please don’t help the Democrats erase state sovereignty! They’re doing a pretty good job of it already!!!
