The EC should remain, however something needs to be done to balance it out ( I don't know what). Trump won the EC by 77K votes whereas Hillary won the popular vote by 2.3M. Essentially one county in each of three states outweighed millions of people.

How about you stop with your idiotic baseless assumptions about my beliefs and biases? I don't blanket label people except while being sardonic. Red states are the biggest drains on entitlements. Maybe I wouldn't seem so mean by talking about facts if you would bother to learn to some.
*Not a liberal
**Not a democrat
***Didn't vote for Hillary
How many disclaimers do I need to have before you can come at me with a logical argument vs feelings?

When women weren't allowed to vote, there is no way i would call the EC an act of " Genius "
In fact far from it.

Also as noted earlier a pure democracy would not work... so how would you change the EC?

Election by popular vote is not pure democracy so that is a strawman.
Who said anything about changing the EC? I just pointed out that either way people are being told that they don't matter so it is a baseless excuse.
