“I think you presume too much, and you substitute your personal notions of what makes sense to you...”
No, they are not my personal notions; they are the way the president of the United States has been elected for hundreds of years.
From Wikipedia:
“The 1824 presidential election was the first election in American history in which the popular vote mattered, as 18 states chose presidential electors by popular vote in 1824 (six states still left the choice up to their state legislatures).”
So you see, in 1824, 18 states chose presidential electors by popular vote. Unfortunately, they did not have you around to explain the Constitution to them.
People like you who spout off such nonsense are evidently beyond any ability to reason.
No, they are your personal notions.
"So you see, in 1824, 18 states chose presidential electors by popular vote. Unfortunately, they did not have you around to explain the Constitution to them."
You aren't paying attention. Nobody disputes that the states have held popular elections for most of our history. That's perfectly allowable under the Constitution. But you want to believe it is required, and it isn't. Each state can choose how to appoint it's electors. It's a choice to hold a popular election for that purpose, but it's not a requirement. A legislature could simply pass a resolution appointing a slate of electors, if that's what they wanted to do.
None of this is vague or seriously debatable. It's how the Constitution defines the process. Read it. Apparently some people do need it explained to them.
