The electoral college system seems really unfair. However, what is the alternative? Candidates campaign in NY, CA, and TX, and ignore the rest of the country? |
When we let go of the idea that there is such a thing as a perfect voting system, I think we can see that the electoral college is the smartest and fairest we've got.
I mean, when you look at how red the map was election night, but still see Hillary with the popular vote, it really makes me understand how bright our founders were to come up with this system.
If there is a better way, I don't know it.

If we were honest with ourselves, the elections we would care about most would be the boring state elections. |
Correct the ones that many don't bother to vote in effect our lives day to day the most.
