Ok, I can see all of your points about the EC, but there is still one aspect of it that is anti-democratic and was put there as a safety mechanism against the will of the people...namely, that electors do not necessarily need to vote for the candidate that the population that they represent chose. This is the my major objection to the EC and why I previously derided it as undemocratic.
Anyway, we have all threadjacked this discussion. Does anyone want to talk about voter intimidation in Florida again
