[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because we are not a mob-rule "democracy" where literally every person gets a voice. We are a Republic. That means that we elect others (representatives, electoral college representatives) to speak for us.[/quote] Sure. And the electors are there to prevent a situation when the mob makes a bad choice, electing a completely unqualified candidate with no knowledge and no respect for the Constitution. Oh. It didn't prevent that. Nor does it seem likely the electors will correct it. So what's the point?[/quote] Not necessarily true. The electors are there to represent the will of the people in that state, much like the role the Hof Reps plays.[/quote]
