What you wrote is entirely true, but it misses the purpose of the EC.

“Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren recently called for the abolition of the Electoral College, while other Democratic presidential candidates, including former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke and Sen. Kamala Harris, have said the Electoral College should be re-evaluated.”

What do I care about what a Fake indian, a fake Mexican and a fake American think?

It may make sense to award a State’s electoral votes proportionally to the percentage of the popular vote won by the candidate in that State. For example if the Repub wins 40% of the votes in California he get 40% of the electors. That would help erase the huge advantage the RATS have in electors before a vote is even cast.

Bingo. Well said.

Federalism and Federalization are antithetical.
