It's bullshit. It's got to go, and doesn't surprise me somebody living in the south likes it. FK THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. This is a national office.You can't figure that out.... can ya honey. It only has states involved because of a-holes back then, and their descendants today. You lower yourself to the people around you. We can't get rid of it, because our cancer(the south) loves to keep their buckwheat's votes from counting. The Electoral College was started to satisfy racists, and it's still in today, because racists won't sign on to get rid of it. This thread is about racism. Start with that E.C. Each state has 2 senators to represent their state. That's enough of that States rights racism. Anytime you hear "States Rights ," racism isn't far behind. Your living in the state that didn't want blacks going to school at Little Rock High School. They did that claiming states rights. Racists love states rights. It lets you fk over people in your own state. Which is exactly what happens in the E C. If you don't belong to the predominant party in the state, then your vote probably won't mean much in the Presidential Elections. States Rights = you got the right to fk over those with the least power in your state. My Dad saw a Black guy get beat to a pulp in Arkansas in the late 40's early 50's(BY A COP.) He refuses to go back. Back then, States Rights meant you got to do pretty much whatever you wanted to the Blacks in your state.
