Good stuff. Thanks.
What people don’t often realize is that the Presidential election is a contest for 50 individual states each “weighted” for their population. Using the EC system the Founders prevented one populace state from swinging the election away from the will of the other states.
We are a Republic for obvious reasons....Democracy is, in essence, mob rule....popularity, no matter how out of sync with societal norms, rules the day. Rule by whim!
A Republic is rule by law, long standing tradition, and reason. By design change is slow to insure the path is kept on the straight and narrow.
