Indeed, he probably lives in San Francisco or New York and wants to select the president.

The entire country gets an equal voice...as our wise Founders wanted.

There are not 3 million members of the Electoral College. They didn't vote for Hillary anyway.

you hate Democracy

Yes. Utterly. I absolutely detest democracy. It is destructive. It is mob rule. It is unstable. It decays into dictatorships and oligarchies. I will do anything I can to stop democracy from coming to the United States. There is a reason there are no democracies anywhere in the world today.

I support a republic. It has a constitution. I support the United States. It is a federated republic.

MYTH: The Founding Fathers designed and favored our nation’s current system of electing the President.


The Founding Fathers never decided how presidential electors should be chosen. Instead, they left the matter to the states.

The Founding Fathers expected that the Electoral College would be a deliberative body. However, presidential electors became a rubber-stamp for the candidates nominated by their parties by the time of the nation’s first competitive presidential election in 1796.

The Electoral College further deviated from the Founders’ vision when state winner-take-all statutes became prevalent (long after the Founders were dead).

The winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes was not debated (much less voted upon or adopted) at the 1787 Constitutional Convention.

The winner-take-all rule is not mentioned in the Federalist Papers.

The winner-take-all method was not the choice of the Founders and was, in fact, used by only three states in the nation’s first presidential election in 1789 (all of which abandoned it by 1800).

The electoral system that we have today was not designed, anticipated, or favored by the Founding Fathers. Instead, it is the result of decades of evolutionary change driven primarily by the emergence of political parties and the desire of each state’s ruling party not to give any of the state’s electoral votes to the minority party.

The winner-take-all rule came into widespread use because of the pressure created by its use in other states.

MYTH: Big cities, such as Los Angeles, would control a nationwide popular vote for President.

Under a national popular vote, every vote would be equal throughout the United States. A vote cast in a big city would be no more (or less) valuable or controlling than a vote cast anywhere else.

Los Angeles does not control the outcome of statewide elections in California and therefore is hardly in a position to dominate a nationwide election. The fact that Los Angeles does not control the outcome of statewide elections in its own state is evidenced by the fact that Republicans such as Ronald Reagan, George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson, and Arnold Schwarzenegger were elected Governor in recent years without ever winning Los Angeles.

The origins of the myth about big cities may stem from the misconceptions that big cities are bigger than they actually are, and that big cities account for a greater fraction of the nation’s population than they actually do. In fact, 85% of the population of the United States lives in places with a population of fewer than 365,000 (the population of Arlington, Texas—the nation’s 50th biggest city).
