        this take is… bad? A vote in Wyoming is worth almost three times a vote in California. That's practically the definition

        Shouting "bad! bad!" is not a counter-argument and completely unresponsive to what I wrote. Do better

        I have some issues with the EC, but my real gripe is with superdelegates and closed primaries. IMHO, *those* are both undemocratic.

        A system that allows for someone to lose an election even if they receive 78% of the vote is undemocratic http://www.ryanlouiscooper.com/2011/05/electoral-college-shenanigans-ctd-lose.html …

        A good example of an anti-democratic vote in the U.S.: Super Delegates.

        It's roughly 1%. And Trump won 60% of states. Hypocritical to object if you wouldn't the other way round.

        The Electoral College was set up to represent majority of States, not people. It is taught in school, or at least it use to be.

        Being anti-democratic & being legitimate is different. EC is both. It was created as a check on populism.

        The founders were pissed when London was governing them. The early American states didn't want the same to happen here.
