You live in a row of 10 townhouses. You all go in on common expenses like lawn maintenance and roof repairs etc.

EC = each house gets a vote and if the lawn maintenance company sucks balls and is a ripoff, 6 houses vote to fire them and you then vote in a better company and have nice lawns for a good price.

Popular vote = the house at one end (lets call it California for fun) takes in 10 homeless people off the street, and the house at the other end (let's call it NY) takes in 8 homeless people. With their 18 new people they alone can now swing any vote. The shitty lawn care company (that happens to be owned by California's owner's cousin) gets to keep working and charging double and doing a shit job.

The federal government already has way too much power. Taking away the EC would basically end America as it was originally established.

We already know that the vast majority of the country voted for Trump, and that democrats made-up their numbers. If we get rid of EC and decide elections based on popular vote, then Trump will win by a mile every time. Mo matter how many "homeless people" CA/NY/etc take in off the street, Trump will always win the popular vote by a landslide.

Getting rid of EC is a surefire way to guarantee all future wins belong to us. The vast majority of USA has always supported Trump, and always will.

Doesn't matter. The EC is core to how America is structured. It is not just about elections. And even still, letting states take in millions of homeless and illegal aliens just so they can choose the President is beyond stupid.

The problem is they will continue to fake their numbers.
