Electoral College support

After the election there was again talk of abolishing our "archaic" system of the Electoral college. I've always been a proponent of it, saying that our Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when they set it up. That a one person one vote direct election would not be a good thing. That the minority of people in any election would have no power and be forced to suffer under the power of the majority. I found this document rather interesting. It shows that one vote actually has more power under our current system mathematically than it would say under a one person one vote direct election system with no Electoral College. You decide for yourself. There is a lot of technical stuff in here but the author makes it very easy to understand, in my opinion. Check it out.

Merry Christmas everyone.
