The article’s author is an idiot. The electoral college was not put in place to “ensure regional balance”, it was put in place to make sure large states like New York did not have disproportionate influence on federal elections much like the reason each state has only 2 senators.

But what think ye of “Although around 30 of the 50 states have passed laws that mean their electors must vote according to the popular vote in their state – the punishment for not doing so is can merely be a fine.”

Yes, the once in a lifetime genius founders of this country got this right, unlike the accusative phony “press” that bring this up every election cycle—but only when their side loses. What a joke.

They should change one thing, do it by county instead of state.
