So I'm supposed to take the "wisdom" of this guy rather the collective wisdom of the Founding Fathers? I don't think so.

I suspect if the results were the same but the party affiliations were reversed, the author wouldn't be the least bit concerned about the "problem" of the electoral college.

My ego is not so fragile that the fact that I can't follow the math invalidates the assertion.

I do understand clearly that party affiliation is in no way related to the theory.

The theory simply validates that the original intent of the Founders leads to the same results as this mathematical "proof."

A fairer way to accomplish the problem of the tyranny of the majority, seen clearly because the Founders were experiencing the Reign of Terror in France, as they were finalizing the Constitution in its final form.

The best analogy I recall from the discussions in the thread is like saying that the winner of the World Series should be the team with the most points scored in the series, rather than games won.

Think about it...
