And I including Garrett in my opinion who at least has an excuse getting mauled by a truck.

The EC was instituted because people like Thomas Jefferson thought politicians were too scummy to elect a president, and people like Alexander Hamilton thought Americans were too stupid to elect a president. So they compromised.
The EC exists because the founders did not want the elections solely decided by NY and PA when there were just a few states. I guess we can go back on forth on their intent, it does not matter. You would need a constitutional amendment to get rid of the EC, which takes 2/3rd of Congress and 3/4th of the states. Yeah good luck with that, sure the Southern states and upper Midwest will just cede power to CA and New York. Tough being the smartest guy on this site. The sad thing is I learned all this in the 10th grade.
