In addition, if what you say is true, implying the electoral college will save America from favoring highly populated, socialistic, liberal big cities etc.......How is it we ended up with Obama?
The GOP ticket ran a terrible campaign, and other factors.
But, I didn't say the electoral college saves us from socialism. It simply gives more states a say in the election. Otherwise, only a few states would dictate every election for the entire country. (For the record, I live in the most densely populated state in the country, and it would benefit from a popular vote, but I still oppose it.)
