“.... Question: If it’s one man, one vote, then why do we still have the Electoral College on the federal level? ....”

A Supreme Court ruling can’t undo the Constitution! The Electoral College is in the text. To get rid of it in an obvious fashion would take an amendment. They’ve been whittling away at it but without an amendment the text is always there, and it can be recovered. The ruling by the activist court was aimed at the states who in the Supreme Courts mind (Warren) were discriminating against minorities with this vestige of republicanism.

I agree I think voting for governor ought to be by county. Also, I think state senators should be chosen by county! Some states like WV (55 counties) arguably have too many counties or counties with a very small population. However, that’s the state’s business not the federal government. As long as all county residents have the same free unfettered access to vote the Feds should have no say!

And I think that goes to the heart of the NC lawsuit.

But I appreciate the mature responses, unlike what some on here put out.
