The Electoral College at the federal level was constitutionally intended to separate both the powers of Federal and State authority while also providing and additional set of checks and balances against government overreach and fleeting popular passions. It is time for States themselves to have an Electoral College to take the misleading passions of urban power centers and provide more power to rural communities.

I admit, I don’t completely understand the electoral college. It’s my understanding they want to give large states with areas of very low population and equal vote in the electoral college . Small States with a high population get X amount of votes in the electoral college too… I think it’s complicated for us to understand.
I believe one vote one person. We’ve been talking about getting rid of the electoral college for years. Why don’t we do it?
