The main problem with the Electoral College is that it builds into every election the possibility, which has been a reality three times since the Civil War, that the president will be a candidate who lost the popular vote.

Well, my friends at the "slimes" fail to realize that this is a Constitutional Republic" and not a European style democracy.

New York is not ever going to pick our president of these 50 states. It ain't gonna happen.

Stop repeating this stupid story every four years, ya hear!

If New York wants to be more "democratic", they're welcome to split their electors in proportion to the popular vote totals. A couple of states already do this.

BTW, all of us need to keep a sharp eye out for stealth initiatives placed on state ballots in strongly Republican states ONLY to split the electors in proportion to the popular vote count. I heard outside liberals have already placed such a measure on the Colorado state ballot and their gunning for other Republican states. It's another scandal in the making. Nothing is beneath these people and they never give up. So we have to just keep fighting them as a part of our lifestyle. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilence."

They are confused... This is not a problem of the Electoral College - it is the FUNCTION of the Electoral College. If we wanted a system in which the winner of the popular vote is president, that would be easy to setup. The fact that we have an electoral college is evidence that the framers of our REPUBLIC did not want a DEMOCRACY.
