Views on the Electoral College
Here it is: what is everyone's views on the Electoral College? I think that in terms of this election, it was fair despite the winner not having the popular vote for two main reasons:
-
The system has been in place since the nation's founding and both candidates knew the terms entering the race; it's a competition and you play by the rules.
-
The country's most prolific form of democracy is in it's diversity demographics, which is reflected not in popular votes but in the Electoral College, which balances out concentrated areas of partisanship.
