Advocates of eliminating the Electoral College need look no further than one-party states like California to get a glimpse of what presidential elections would look like if the Electoral College were gone.
That’s why it’s important for us to understand why the Electoral College matters and should continue.
We often focus on the benefits of the Electoral College from the perspective of the smaller, less populated states and their citizens because the Framers had them in mind when they designed the Electoral College.
Just the other day, Tim Walz stated explicitly that America needs to end the Electoral College.
The Electoral College is not the antithesis of conservatism but is, instead, the epitome of conservatism in action.
The Framers did not undermine individual rights and conservative principles when they created the Electoral College.
The Electoral College was their answer, for it prevents majority one-party rule and protects the individual rights of the minority better than pure democracy.
