SO far, this poll, obviously more accurate and scientific than CNN or NBC, shows less than 5% of the nation wants to allow a popular vote to decide our President and is fully supportive of the Founding Fathers defeating Liberalism from the grave 200 years past their deaths.

There is no chance that the Electoral Vote will be changed any time soon. even if over 50% of the people want it changed, those people aren't in the right places to see that it gets changed.

Would you have still supported it if the tables had been turned? Trump wins popular vote but Hillary won electoral vote!

The so-called democrats still have filibuster power in the Senate, no small power, and if they have any sense of Constitutional duty, they will use it at almost every turn.
If Bill Clinton's wife had won, the so-called republicans would continue to have filibuster power in the Senate, no small power, as well as a majority in the House, and they would be derelict in their Constitutional duty were they not to use it at almost every turn.
Checks and balances goes deep into the fabric of power at every level of government in these United States.
I wish the Electoral College functioned as the founding fathers intended. They wisely knew that the populace was too foolish to be trusted to vote directly for the highest office in the land. They were susceptible to supporting demagogues of low cunning who could appeal to the popular vote, but who did not have the intellectual or moral wherewithal to serve as president. They established the Electoral College as an important check on popular will. In those cases when the masses elected a tyrant, Electoral College voters were supposed to deliberate and pick a more suitable choice. If ever there was a time to do this, it is now. We are so clearly headed for utter disaster. Only fools who can't see it or bastards who cheer it on because they want to watch the whole thing burn welcome this. I wish the Electoral College members would not rubber stamp the popular vote in their states. I wish they would pick someone suitable -- a Mitt Romney or someone even more conservative but a person of principles. But they won't. They'll effect this vote for a demagogic tyrant, and the corpses of the founding fathers will cry dusty tears.

Had the founders known we'd have open borders to the entire alien voting world 190 years later, they probably would done more than just the electoral college.
Funny how liberals want to get rid of the long standing electoral college but don't want to amend dubious aspects of the 14th amendment giving birthright citizenship.
