A major reason there is an Electoral College was that in the late 1700s there was no way to count the votes of each person in time ... so, a delegate was used to cast a vote for a block of voters based on what the majority of the people in their block wanted. Win some, lose some method. The assumption was that votes would balance out and the will of the little people would win out over the will of the chosen delegates. But, politicians have abused that method to give delegates the choice over the people.
It isn't the 1700s now. For years now, individual votes are counted at speeds unimaginable in 1776. The world has evolved a long way since.
Eliminate the Electoral College and a lot of the political manipulations go away, because, as Thune stated, "It’s harder to hack 50 election systems than it is to hack one." But, change 50 electionsystems to 150 million voters, then hacking is impossible, at least for the foreseeable future.
In the late 1700s, the most populous states were Virginia and Pennsylvania.
EC kept those states from dominating smaller states such as South Carolina and Rhode Island.
Today it keeps California and New York from disenfranchising Wyoming.
Incorrect. North Koreans are ignorant about U.S. history.
All this Electoral College debate is great. But the real problem with Federal Government is that 17 percent of our US population controls 52 Senate seats !! So it is not shocking that we have a Incompetent Supreme Court ! ( approved by the Senate )
The name "God" does not appear in the original biblical texts. Neither does "YHWH." The correct name is "Elohim", pronounced "il-oh-heem". The supreme being is the same between Islam, Jewish and Christian faiths. The three are known as the Abrahamic religions.
Elohim and Allah are both names for God used in different religious traditions; Elohim is primarily used in Judaism and Christianity, while Allah is used in Islam. Both terms refer to the same singular, supreme deity.
The Abrahamic religions are a group of monotheistic faiths that include Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, all of which revere the figure of Abraham as a significant prophet. These religions share common roots and beliefs.

All the election stealing goes away with EC being declared a dinosaur. Try thinks that turning one blue county in Georgia (by switching votes to his candidates) will let him keep the Senate and House. Rs think he needs an entire state to steal 2028.
Try manipulating 150,000,000 individual votes, and R's plan for a fascist world goes away. The Rs die as a party since they have failed to adapt.

Trump won the popular vote - in a historic landslide.
The Democratic candidate in the last Presidential election didn’t rape children with Jeffrey Epstein. There are other differences but that one is huge.
Only cuz she is female, Now Biden, Clinton, --
As is Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Ferguson & Melania Trump.
Clinton wasn’t running last time out but yes he is in the files and he should be prosecuted. I do not think Biden was implicated.
Trump: They wanted me to go to jail for the rest of my life. Then it turned out I was innocent. Very innocent. I have a friend who said "you have to be the most honest person anywhere in the world".

This beautiful building will be, when complete, the much anticipated White House Ballroom — The Greatest of its kind ever built! It is a rendering from the Treasury Building, directly across the street, and replaces the very small, dilapidated, and rebuilt many times, East Wing, with a magnificent New East Wing, consisting of a glorious Ballroom that has been asked for by Presidents for over 150 years. Being an identical height and scale, it is totally in keeping with our historic White House. This is the first rendering shown to the Public. If you notice, the North Wall is a replica of the North Facade of the White House, shown at the right hand side of the picture. This space will serve our Country well for, hopefully, Centuries into the future! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

When you are president, you can make your delusions and paranoia come true. They let you do it.
Saying the term is offensive is a virtue-signaling moral argument, not a legal one.
Tighten up your spelling and grammar next time, chief. You sound uneducated.
It's called a typo. Nothing wrong with the grammar.
That you would assess me based on a post in a public forum is silly.
WOW! how big of an idiot are you? for real, ain’t no way you went to Stanford, that much is clear. The term “Illegal Alien” has been official Government terminology since the 80’s.
Go back to school, this place is for educated folks.
Here's how a federal prosecutor responded when a federal judge demanded answers about the Trump admin's immigration crackdown in Minneapolis: "I wish you would just hold me in contempt of court so I can get 24 hours of sleep," Julie Le said. "The system sucks, this job sucks, I am trying with every breath I have to get you what I need."
Trump: Morale of our people has never been higher! Some are saying the best in history.
