States decide the President. Not the people directly. Were you never educated why that is?

We know that. We just think that a provision put in place to convince slave states to join the union might be slightly anachronistic in the Year of Our Lord, 2016.

The electoral college isn't a provision and it's clear you don't understand what anachronistic means.

I'm not a fan of politicians ignoring states.

And Wyoming would love for Hillary to take a stroll thru on her way to Arizona.

The swing states change over time. California used to be a swing state when Reagan was governor of California. The district of Columbia gets 3 democratic votes each election and nobody politics there nor does anybody clamor for change.

The national only needs one more GOP governor and new amendments can be passed but democrats won't be the ones pushing the amendments since hardly any governors are democrats.

Do the schools still teach that Jefferson Davis, the leader of the Southern confederate?
