I find a little irony that the liberals bemoan the electoral college where six or seven swing states decide the outcome of the election. Their remedy of direct popular vote reduces the deciding factor to just three or four high population states.

Mike,

The Senate was designed to give disproportionate power to small states.

Giving that same disproportionate power to small states in a national election is clearly undemocratic. The electoral college has allowed minority rule which is NOT how a democracy works.

One person one vote. That’s how democracy works.

The Founding fathers figured out how to limit the tyranny of the majority (Bill of Rights, Senate) but they didn’t put limits on the tyranny of the minority because they didn’t envision its possibility.
