The founding fathers gave us the most powerful document man has ever been given. **** the liberals and their tyranny, it's exactly why the founding fathers wrote our constitution the way they did.
What do you call it when President Nixon won reelection 520 to 17 Electoral College votes? At any rate neither the Electoral College or the popular vote made a good decision since Nixon later resigned, due to corruption while in office.
The Constitution protects your rights against the Majority of the people who want to take them away.
No use screwing with it now.
WRONG. What works far better than the Electoral College to protect a tyrant from developing power was Congress passing passing the Amendment that only allowed a president to serve two terms.
1 city has the ability to nullify 9 other states votes.....
Progressive liberals want that because they know it benefits them with California and NY (city) being mostly liberal.
They are not concerned with equality or making sure each vote counts, they want to make sure each California and NYC vote counts more because they still have butt hurt that Trump beat Clinton and want to make sure it can never happen again.
I don't think anybody is proposing that each CA or NY vote should count more, just that it would count the same as a vote in any other state.
For a CA or NY vote to count more you would have to keep the electoral college and make it so that say CA had one EC vote for each 500,000 residents while small states only got one for each 1,000,000 residents. Nobody is saying that should be the case.

Has there ever been a vote before Trump, where the person chosen as victor was so far behind in the popular vote?
Maybe there's your answer.
Because before, the results of the Electoral College vote haven't subverted the will of the people.
