The need to reconsider the Electoral College (and it has nothing to do with Trump)

[archives]

"Demographic trends also are straining the American model. Because of the way the Electoral College works, two of the past three presidents first won office while losing the popular vote. And David Birdsell, dean of the school of public and international affairs at Baruch College, notes that by 2040, about 70% of Americans are expected to live in the 15 largest states. They will have only 30 senators representing them, while the remaining 30% of Americans will have 70 senators representing them."

Currently, the State of Wyoming has more say in electing a President then the Buffalo, New York metro area which is twice the size of Wyoming in population

Down the road it appears we will not be the representative democracy that the Founding Fathers has imagined

Perhaps, but the disturbing trend will have to be addressed eventually

Absolutely nothing to do with Trump, talking 2040 and your interpreting Trump, and I thought your Hillary obsession was an addiction

This is exactly the reason this country wants to keep the electoral college. High populations centers cannot decide the President. Rural areas have as much say. This is a good thing.

nothing more than a liberal attempt to negate and eliminate 50 separate entities known as the United States, preferring instead to have one gigantic entity known as the UA, all dominated by a central government and what they say, goes.

Did anyone recommend getting rid of State Governments? Point being down the road the President, one third of the Government, could actually be elected continuously by less and less American voters

Sorry, but that is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind

So it is endorsement of less representative Government, maybe we can change our name like one of those third world nations that refer to themselves as Republics when they are actually dictatorships

Hilarious. Don't liberals alternatively claim that the Founders were anachronistic, plutocratic, patriarchal slave-owners when that characterization suits them?

How do you get that? It is more representative government. Everybody has a fair say in the election. What you are describing would be a third world nation, mob rules. Not sanity.
