    I live in WV. If the electoral college didn't exist, this state would get zero representation.

                        That's because The electoral college evens out the representation of the entire country and a Democracy mob rules. This is why we have a Constitutional Republic !

                              If we can keep it..............

                              The deliberations of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 were held in strict secrecy. Consequently, anxious citizens gathered outside Independence Hall when the proceedings ended in order to learn what had been produced behind closed doors. The answer was provided immediately. A Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.” (Benjamin Franklin)

                                I'm coming down on the side of keeping the electoral college. Dems are just trying to ensure they win the next election without any forethought about this may actually bite them in the ass in the future.

                                I intensely dislike our 2 parties more and more with each passing year.

                                  Actually, the electoral college and a states total representation in Congress are equal.

                                        No, you're not the only one.

                                        Another prime example of this stupidity is Colorado changing how their electoral votes are doled out in presidential elections. 

                                        The Colorado State legislature just passed a law in which their electoral votes will go to the candidate who wins the popular vote, thinking that this will somehow prevent a repeat of what happened in 2016.

                                        But, once you stop to think about it, it's actually a pretty stupid idea. Colorado votes mostly blue, so that means that even if the majority of the state votes for a Democratic candidate, if the national popular vote is won by a Republican, all of Colorado's electoral votes will go to the Republican. They've basically written voter disenfranchisement into their own law.
