The electoral college absolutely is elected and always has been. What are you talking about?

I wrote “(elected)” to explicitly exclude the Supreme Court from my statement.




Sorry I was unclear and hasty there. The EC ensures the presidency is not democratic.


It’s still Democratic, it just isn’t equally representative.

I am against the EC as well, but it isn’t representative of modern notions of democracy in America. As I said, it exists as little more than an anachronism.
