EDITORIAL: In defense of 55 electoral votes

In your original post you said:

Some liberal states want the majority popular vote in their state to get all the electoral votes rather than have them apportioned according to county and precinct votes. That would effectively eliminate the Electoral College in practice. Eliminating the Electoral College would eliminate America as it was founded.

So I understood you to say that liberals want a winner take all system, and that if they got that it would effectively eliminate the Electoral College. But the winner take all system is already the norm in 48 states, so I don't see how they could yearn for that, nor now it would effectively kill the Electoral College, since that's the way things already stand. Obviously I missed something you were trying to say.

Or perhaps I was wrong.
