You do understand that the United States started as individual countries? With that in mind, the electoral college is like these individual countries casting their weighted voted based on the vote of their population. 

It is kind of brilliant. The populous states get a bigger vote, but the less populous states can over ride them. That means the rural voters can have a say and so can the urban voters. This is what we mean by majority rules, minority rights. The EC balances popular vote with minority vote so that both groups have a turn in power. It moderates our policies. It is literally the best system devised to date. There is no tyranny of the majority here.

A good argument and used many times. 

The overriding criticism is that a minority of the population can determine the winner. 

In a 2-Party system, I understand the criticism - on the other hand better to let sleeping dogs lay?

IF a 3rd Party throws its oar into the water I don't think the E.C. would stand.

LOL sure kid. 

So let me guess, you're someone who got punted off of here in the past, or who ran off in shame, and now you're back under another name and reliving your butthurt from the past? :) 

So many people have quit crying their eyes out after scrapping with me in the past I wouldn't even want to guess which one  you are :) 

At the end of the day the truth sounds the same no matter who says it.  @User is correct in his claims, as am I, the truth is bound to sound a little similar.  So lets see if you can address the points or if you're just going to have an  emotional break down and cry.

Pi$$ing in my boots, lady!

10 years of arguing about results Vs. morality lectures from Tweenkies who use morality like Silly-Putty.
