This formula got scratched out using a quill pen in 1787.

More wisdom was scratched out with a quill pen in 1787 than ever came from the keyboards of modern morons such as these folks.

It's a generous thing to call them ignorant morons - the only other term for people espousing such a change is 'traitor'.

Yep. In form and function, and through times of difficulty, the United States Constitution—and Declaration of Independence—has proven to be a brilliant design for self governance. It prioritized liberty and acknowledged and enshrined rights gifted to us only by God.

So now just because we’ve got twitter and computers and satellites we should throw out an essential part of its design, the Electoral College? Sorry, I will not entertain any new schemes or algorithms for determining elections. It’s not broken and doesn’t need fixing.
