Wrong! The Electoral College (although not explicitly referred to as such) was provided for in the original Constitution (1787). It was only after the highly contested election of 1800 (essentially Jefferson vs. Adams, which was decided in the House of Representatives) that the Twelfth Amendment was ratified in an attempt to smooth out the process and make it less likely for an election to be decided in the House. The Twelfth Amendment, for the first time, specified that Electors in their respective states were to vote separately for president and vice-president. It was ratified in 1804.
If the EC had been “introduced” it would have been eliminated long ago. Eliminating something that is part of the Constitution is a bit harder than eliminating something introduced.

I’d much rather have won the pop vote (and take out the fraud and we did for certain) but I like how mad this makes them.
And I love how they think that they can get 38 hardcore Republicans to vote for Clinton in defiance of the voters of their states.
I’m gonna start a petition to ask George Soros to give me all his money cause I’m asking nicely, think he’ll go for it?
