Why Eliminating the Electoral College is a Bad Idea

   
    There is a movement to eliminate the Electoral College, in Presidential races, for a national popular election.
    This is a political consultant's dream, and a nightmare for the rest of America.
    Big cities in big states will be the winners, while those in Iowa, Oregon, Montana, Vermont and other small states will lose everything.
    The political consultants---like the one Hillary Clinton hired for 4 million dollars, will concentrate their television ads on the largest cities, and can show early polling, how well they are doing.
    There may be  minority bashing, where in states where the voting population hates illegal immigrants, for example, are watching ads by candidates playing to their basic mean instincts and attracting millions of votes.
    There will be no balance in the election.
    Right now---and it is Independence Day today---independent minded voters in small states have a stake in the election, and when combined with their Electoral votes, with other small states, can block the mob rule of larger states.

    Our founders may have created the Electoral College, as a balance--among other factors--in our national elections.

    Its worked every time, except twice.

    Let's not turn our national election for President of the United States, into a national supermarket tabloid.

    HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
