The left has a huge advantage if we eliminate the electoral college. Using only total popular vote to decide is much more likely to yield a fraudulent or stolen result. That gives the left a huge advantage because it’s how they play naturally. We’d lose almost all the time when you consider how supercharged they can heat election fraud when they want to.
The Electoral College is equally fair and is much less susceptible to fraud so it’s just the better procedure to use.
The fraud attempts we saw this time at the college were very alarming. The integrity of the college vote must be 100%.
Using only total popular vote to decide is much more likely
to yield a fraudulent or stolen result.
*****************
Hillary won the nationwide popular vote by approximately 2.7 million votes. Looking
at just one county, Los Angeles County, CA in which she won by approximately 1.3 million
votes. So as you pointed out the focus would shift to the large population centers.
