BlAcK TuRtLe 10/28/20 1:40:23 PM #152:	Tom Bombadil posted... I don't get why we have to select specific electors in the first place instead of the votes just....going to whoever earned them. It seems like a needless step in the best case, and a recipe for weird faithless elector controversy in the worst. The Electoral College is a momentously stupid system, but was implemented to solve the problem of heavily populated urban areas dictating policy decisions that would adversely affect rural populations. Going to a "popular vote" system would be just as stupid, but there has to be a better way. --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade.
