        I'm sorry, but that's bull. Twice in 16 years. The republicans would be crying "rigged" if things were reversed.

        Because Republicans use them to steal elections. FBI GOP Comey's Treason wouldn't have worked without the Electoral College.

        it's to ensure large states like CA, NY, TX, FL don't overwhelm the small states like RI, NJ, DE it's quite simple and makes sense
