The Biden-Pocalypse

[Half Smoke]

It has never been explained clearly to me, just what the purpose or usefulness of the electoral college was.

the link describes pretty cogently the reasoning behind those who favor the electoral college

that's not to say that I in any way agree with it

the most important point the writer makes:

quote - "The Electoral College maintains a federal system of government and representation. Their reasoning is that in a formal federal structure important powers are reserved to the States. In the U.S. for example the House of Representatives was designed to represent the States according to the size of their population. And the Electoral College was designed to represent each State's choice for the Presidency. To abolish the Electoral College would strike at the very heart of the federal structure laid out in our Constitution and would lead to nationalization of our central government - to the detriment of the States."

the number of each State's electoral votes are the number of its Senators (which is two) plus the number of its Representatives
