> The Electoral College is the glue to holds our Republic together in liberty and equality (too Francais?)
Yes. We wouldn’t have a country if it weren’t for the Connecticut Compromise, which combined the large-state supported House (based on population) and the small-state supported Senate (with equal representation for each state). The electoral college reflects that compromise.
It was the Southern slave states that favored representation on the basis of population, and the Northern states that wanted equal representation for each state. This is well-known history to persons with a serious interest in the subject. I have to believe that some people at The New York Times know that, but have slanted their accounts to reflect political biases.
I’m considering composing a short-text based on my “glue that holds the Republic together” statement. Input is appreciated.
My first question is (and I truly am perplexed on this):
Do the electors ONLY confirm the POTUS race or do they not also, confirm the federal HoR and Senate race votes?
