Are we still a nation after all these years? Do you not understand what the electoral college does? It makes sure the smaller states still have equal power in the government. Otherwise we’d split off because power would be held by a few states.
I’m thinking you shouldn’t talk about the electoral college until you understand what it does because you’re dead wrong
Power IS held by a few states…the swing states…that are made important because the electoral college gives them disproportionate votes. States aren’t people and where you live shouldn’t matter for the presidential election.

[fairvote.org/…/the_electoral_college-population_v…](A vote in Wyoming has the same “power” as 2 1/2 votes from Oregon). What about that sounds right to you?

States are the centers of power in our country. Not the people. It’s why states vote for president.
