        #WakeUpUSA Electoral college put in because founders felt Americans did NOT have info needed to make the right choice&"They feared a tyrant could manipulate public opinion and come to power."Really? TIME FOR 1 person=1 vote=Whoever gets the most votes WINS! Isn't that democracy?

        The Electoral College is un-democratic and has long since outlived its dubious raison d'être of inducing slave states to join the union. Time to end it.

        Michael, love your work. As a top tier Presidential scholar, do you feel that the electoral college has outlived its usefulness?

        True, but only @realDonaldTrump has been chosen unanimously by the Electoral College 3 times. And Trump’s inaugural crowd was many times greater than Washington’s.
