The EC has 2 purposes: 1) to ensure the POTUS has broad geographic support and 2) the founders did not trust the people to directly elect POTUS, the EC was meant to be a check on our impulses to elect an unqualified populist. Didn’t work this time.

The EC was never about electing a POTUS with geographic support. It was built to equalize counties with 100 people could be heard equally alongside counties with 1MM people. The Executive Office, of which POTUS os Chief Ofcr, is the perfect place for a successful CEO.

And Trump is not a successful CEO.

The EC was never built to predict the popular vote. It was built to prevent a few, small, populous regions from subverting the will of the rest of the nation, or dominating policy above other, less populous, bust just as important, regions in our country.
