Why the Electoral college should be preserved
This is a good article that counters the democratic argument for doing away with the Electoral College. Why? Because we are not a pure democracy and that is a good thing.
You have to read it; I am not going to cut and paste because I couldn't do it service. I will just say that if we eliminate or somehow nullify the electoral college, the United States will cease to exist. It will turn into something else. Something worse.
