It is that simple. This is a great test to see if someone is racist or not. Ask if they agree with the EC. If they do, then you know the answer. [/quote]

I see you started another thread. Well, I posted this to your sharing of that link on another and jic you don't see it there, here it is ON TOPIC with this one.

[b]"One Founding-era argument for the Electoral College"[/b] You have taken that, and made it a fact. Not even the writer of the article did that. The writer did go on to share what he believes is the reason almost as if it is fact. See, he can do that since he prefaced it as he did. In other words, it's the writers opinion.

I would hope you have a broader knowledge of the balance of power, states rights, etc. but I won't hold out hope.[/quote]

New PP. I didn't start this thread. There are so many books written about the evolution of Electoral College.  The southern states didn't have the WHITE POPULATION to compete with the North in national elections because the blacks cant vote. This would have guaranteed Northern politicians winning the presidential election every time. To prevent this from happening the southern politicians created the Electoral College which includes the Black population without giving them a vote. This is the fundamental reason for the Electoral College. There are variations of this theory but the basic thing is EC is rooted in Racism.

Don't care about a bunch of opinions put forth on blogs. Just as the one the OP linked. Fact is it was set up for equal representation. Virginia, a slave state, was equal to Pennsylvania in white males 16 and over population. North Carolina almost as populated as NY. And there was only 4 southern states. Taking one part of a discussion/issue and making it the whole is bs.[/quote]

Yeah never read, learn or do any research. There books an Amazon on the very topic written by historians. But then for the know nothings common sense is enough and superior to years of research. Ignorance is bliss but just keep away from forums.[/quote]
