"Why Do We Have an Electoral College" article by the New York Times conveniently forgets to mention that our country is not a pure democracy with presidential election decided by popular vote but a Constitutional Republic with presidential election decided by electoral college and founders chose to use electoral college for good reasons - https://www.yahoo.com/news/why-electoral-college-again-164132676.html
Article treats electoral college as something bad when the founders intended for electoral college to be something good, at the time of the framing of the Constitution and which I believe still applies today.
The NYT article does not mention that the original intent of electoral college were to prevent tyrants to manipulate public opinion to come to power and prevent larger more populous states to impose their will on smaller less populous states - https://www.historycentral.com/elections/Electoralcollgewhy.html
Do we have any tyrants trying to manipulate public opinion (Media Mogul George Soros and Michael Bloomberg who used brute financial force recently in VA to get anti gun law makers elected with devastating results that prompted the 1/20/20 rally at the capitol and is trying to buy an election, etc.) and larger populous states trying to impose on the smaller states today pushing for popular vote?
Who's trying to take our guns away? Yup, OUR tyrannical law makers.
Our founders anticipated what's happening today to have precisely framed our Constitution/BOR and chose Electoral College ... They were smart to have done so.
And thankfully, our founders also chose to have 3 separate branches of government so when executive and legislative branches fail to uphold the Constitution, the judicial branch would step into enforce the Constitution.
I mean, every president, law maker, even soldier and law enforcement officer take an oath to support and defend the Constitution ... Yet why are they writing, passing and supporting unconstitutional bills/laws?
Yes, the founders were really smart.
Tyrannical law makers, see you in court.
