The E.C. has now become a way for the minority to rule rather than simply compete.
ADMIN
If the E.C. was working AS PLANNED where each candidate got only what they actually WON rather than "winner takes all in states", then it would work to parallel the popular vote rather than skew towards the GOP as it does now. Working as it was PLANNED would stop ANY state from being critical and a "must win". Instead, it would force candidates to go to EVERY state to get votes and not to take any state or votes for granted. For EASE in counting, that all changed when congress decided to forego the proscribed process for winner take all. The GOP will NEVER AGREE to change that because they'll lose every time. Can't have Americans actually have as POTUS who they voted for, can they?
