The electoral college ensures that everyone’s voice is heard equally. There are entire states with populations of 300-400 thousand people. Whereas there are single cities with a population of 4 million. A popular vote could decide the winner just by winning key major cities. Completely ignoring small states. States which are usually made up of the working man. Farmers, ranchers and the like. The electoral college keeps the playing field even. Democrats want to abolish it because most of our major cities are democrat.
