I have a fundamental problem with any person or group that says dumping the electoral college in favor a popular vote is bad. To me that goes against the very heart of a representative democracy.
It also seems to me that groups who take this position do so not out of concerns of fairness, but because they will lose some political muscle that other groups lack.
Again, to me this is no different than laws that made black votes equivalent to 3/5 of a white vote (I think that's the right percentage).
Both are WRONG.
