#3 Dear little Lexie really shouldn’t try to think — she might break something. My dear girl, the Electoral College was the countryside’s price for letting you city folk have a country.

#4 It’s a filter when the vote gets close. Like the Senate representing the states and the house representing the populace. The founders looked to provide a balance between often diverging interests, that is, until pres wilson f’ed it up with direct election of senators.

But Occasional Cortex never studied the constitution because she is always shooting off her mouth rather than taking things into serious rational consideration before speaking.

#6 Simple fact. No Electoral College, no United States.

Note well - United States

Eight smaller states were not going to join 5 larger states who would in turn dictate to the smaller states their existence, culture, economy, laws, etc. Today the many smaller states are not going to stay with 12 or so metropolitan areas who want to impose their culture, values, politics, economics upon them. Period.

Better you seek independent City States. You realize they are already drowning men, dragging anyone attempting to help them down with them.

#8 Even in 1776 the Founding Fathers knew better than to let New Yorkers run the show.

#9 I’m always curious how so many people fail to note the punctuation of the opening of our founding Declaration of Independence. Great care was given to its form and few note that in the first line, they described the document as a product of the united States of America. A clear display of their belief in the union of sovereign States united in common purpose.

#10 Majority Rule: A Lynch Mob is very democratic, everybody but the hanged person voted for the execution!
