@KaiStarkk The electoral college was put in place to benefit slave holding states. Since representation is based on population and, at the time, slaves were 3/5ths of person, they could breed slaves (felt sick typing that) until they had greater representation and thus, more power. It was one of those absolutely ridiculous compromises our nation was founded on that make it such a hellscape today. When it comes to national leadership, one person one vote is the only equitable way to deal with things. If it were only one person one vote for national politics, the national politicians, that is president and vice president, would have to campaign everywhere, not just 8 or 9 swing states. Maybe that'd benefit the bigger states a little, but the system now benefits states that have little population, like Wyoming. One Wyoming vote is worth 3.7 California votes. Why should it take 4 Californians to equal one Wyomingites?
