    The Electoral College is hated by many. So why does it endure? http://nyti.ms/2g0O3us pic.twitter.com/DRThKKVSgf

        It's called the Constitution. And in the era of rampant voter fraud in Democrat states, it's more necessary than ever.

        Because it helps to protect rural interests? And keep CA fixates listening to states as a whole, other than metropolitan areas?

        that said, now that 40% of our elections are falling against popular vote (2000 and 2016), we obviously have a new problem.

        the electoral vote makes the popular vote seem meaningless, that's why some ppl don't vote at all.

        so the takeaway of why it endures is that it would be too hard to change it? Doesn't seem like a good enough reason.

        Exactly! So much for the land of the brave. Talk about a system that is fundamentally rigged to disenfranchise "others".

        Electoral college endures because the constitutional was designed to limit the power of government. Don't dare to reverse that.

        To keep each state population able to have a part in electing President, otherwise large population states would dictate. Phone/Pen

        maybe because otherwise the like minded voters in California and NY would be able to dictate elections for the whole country.
