#24: The problem is, most people in this country think this is the right thing to do. They have never understood the Electoral College process. They don’t even understand what it means to be a Republic, not a simple Democracy.

The Electoral College compromise is the only reason the constitution was ratified.
The Electoral College can only be abolished by Constituional Ammendment
States are free to designate their electors anway they choose, even give them to some candidate that lost in their state, but their electors still must vote in the Electoral College if they are to be counted
