Why did you disparage education and say they teach "it's all about slavery"?
the EC is based on the amount of representatives a state has plus 2 for the senators
but that has not been the case for about what? 150 yrs now?
the EC number of electors for each state is subject to change every 10 years when the federal census is tallied. the amount of people in a state determines how many representatives there are for that state, giving the number of electors in the EC
it is a system that does need to be changed
The EC members were meant to be INDEPENDANT of political party, now they are a rubber stamp for either.
They were MEANT to be the will of the PEOPLE, not the representatives of political parties.
Now, all the EC is, is a rubber stamp with veto powers based on party.
instead of voting for a person or party, we vote for a written set of social political characteristics of a candidate leaving out age, sex and ethnicity.
so instead of having say 3 ppl on a ballot-dem, gop and libertarian (or however many) instead of party name and candidate name, there would be a narrative written there that states the candidates platform and political goals-- no background on qualifications/experience either--past performance is all too often NOT and indicator of future performance
and it could not include campaign buzz words or phrases like 'make america great again'
of course, this would pre suppose that every voter can read and then comprehend and process the info given... not a bad thing
