Good stuff. Thanks.
Liberals believe in the tyranny of the majority/mob rule.
When they are the mob, that is.

Please research this before passing it on to others. Much of the information is not accurate.
The founders were geniuses.
The people trying to undo it are not.
Some Facts of Art. II Eligibility

Because they are populated by supporters of the revolution, i.e. Democrats. If the densely populated areas were populated by conservatives, then the Democrats would be asking this rhetorical question, because it would be in the revolution's best interests to do so. Remember, the issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.
Those numbers are way off.
The argument the Left supplies is that people vote—not land.
So ultimately, when you dilute the vote of people who live in cities you are being less democratic.
We should address this issue directly.
While what they say is true, we are a representative republic with certain guaranteed rights. The majority doesn’t get to vote in things that harm the minority’s rights.
Sure, they could vote on things like no schools for poor rural districts, and to take that money and invest it in urban schools. They could even argue that the rural poor move to the city if they want education for their kids.
Imagine a city of 100,000 versus a rural area of 10,000. Whenever there would be a vote on something that would harm the rural area but help the city would ALWAYS win. Conversely, whenever there was a vote that would help the rural area but hurt the city, well, that wouldn’t pass.
The Founders looked at the various colonies they came from as very distinct regions that had very different requirements and needs. They promoted a compromise that would best help everyone as best they could.
Ask someone on the Left why every state gets two and only two senators? Should California and New York get more, since they have more people? Since blacks only make up 13% of the total population, shouldn’t they get only 13% Congressional representation and economic benefits?
No, the whole thing is just a dumb idea, since pure democracy depends on the suppression of the foibles and prejudices that naturally occur in mankind. Pure democracy will never see some voters doing what’s good for everyone, but rather to just themselves.
One other thing is this.
Changing the Constitution requires 2/3rds of the States to agree to it. That isn’t going to happen vis-à-vis the Electoral College. For this reason alone I am against the formation of a Constitutional Convention. The Left—not the Right—would run rampant in such a gathering.
Well DONE!
Thanks for posting it...
It prevents New York lowlifes from dictating how Iowa farmers should have to conduct themselves.

Election 1824

And up until the 2016 election, The Clinton Criminal Enterprises machine had a lock on the illegal votes in all the major U.S. population centers, including criminal illegal aliens, prohibited by law from voting, but who voted anyway.
The long-delayed Voter ID Amendment should be on the horizon, but for the time being, more pressing issues need to be dealt with.
In the meantime perhaps several million copies of this article should be emailed to Hillary Clinton.
Anyone know her many mailing addresses?
I have encountered no better explanation of the founders' wisdom that the USA Today County by County Voting Map for the 2000 and 2004 presidential election.
I’m a big supporter of the Electoral College but the data here is inaccurate.
Trump did not win 3,084 of 3,141 counties!
If so, that would have been the most epic landslide of all time.
Who would be president if Clinton won the popular vote by 25 million and lost the electoral vote?
bkmk
Thanks for posting
The irony is that if Clinton won the electoral and Trump the popular, this same eloquent analysis of the genius of our Founding Fathers would be equally attributed to Clinton. Of course this makes the left total hypocrites and sore losers since they want to ABOLISH the Electoral College.
BTW, I believe Clinton's much touted popular vote total is fraudulent by MANY millions.
