Maybe that's why our great founders had no thought of popular voting as a means of appointing a President.
They did guarantee us a republican form of government, where the people are the ultimate source of authority.
Do we really have that now in AZ, for example?
Do we really have that now in many states, where election boards are corrupt, ballot harvesting and mail in ballots lead to chain of custody issues, voter ID isn't needed and voting machine software remains proprietary?
