Idiots. Ignorant idiots.

There's a reason for the Electoral College and it has nothing to do with the lack of communication infrastructure technology of the 18th century. (That was addressed when the inauguration was moved from March to January) It has EVERYTHING to do with requiring a candidate to gain popularity all across the country, consistent with "The Great Compromise" when we set this country up to begin with.

Liberals would LOVE a direct popular vote because a candidate could pander to New York, LA and Chicago and practically thumb their nose at the rest of the country. People complain that too much attention is paid to swing states like Ohio? How about making Ohio irrelevant - along with several other states?
