“The U.S. Electoral College is, by a quite considerable margin, the most unfathomably stupid democratic institution in the world.”
Then how is the UN Security Council any different? China, Russia, United Kingdom and France are permanent members.
Large countries like Indonesia, India and Brazil are only non-permanent members even though they have enormous populations.
Perhaps that's why we have a Constitutional Republic and NOT a "democracy"?
The esteemed professor is obviously not a Math professor.
Why would Maine want to dilute an individual vote by 150,000,000 other nationwide voters?
One vote in a state of only 750,000 votes is 200 times larger

I think the Electoral College is genius.
This Associate ‘Professor’ doesn’t understand the purpose of the college. It was established to ensure that the hopes, dreams, wants and needs of the collective Union are considered.
Philadelphia and New York City back then could completely control the UNION just by pure population and we’d likely have seen the Civil War earlier. Same thing today. You let the 20 or so cities and counties that have so many leftists crammed in them control the government and you get the same.
