Man do i have a lot to say on this "debate". Ill start with this while i finish the stream and possibly relisten. The electoral college doesnt "favor" the red states. The only reason it can possibly be phrased this way is because in reality the electoral college doesnt favor any states. However without it, a popular vote would OVERWHELMINGLY favor big city states. So its not that it favors rural states, it just removes the mob rule aspect of popular vote. That actually is what makes us NOT a democracy, which the first fellow with TDS seems to have trouble understanding, but thats for another time because there is a lot to say about someone who has such deep seated hatred for a huge portion of Americans.
