This PERFECTLY Illustrates How INSANE The Electoral College Concept Is!

60. I know it's "improbable": SO WHAT!!

it doesn't matter if the most extreme example is "improbable"... but we KNOW that all that matters for morally legitimate government is that those who are REJECTED by the People should never "win" elections... and those representing the minority SHOULD NEVER GOVERN. Yet we now have a truly antidemocratic tyranny of the minority in both the Whitehouse AND the Senate where Dems represent 33 million more people than do GOPers... yet GOPers control the Senate.

As for amending the Constitution... sure, it SHOULD be hard to amend. But just what do you mean by "consensus"? Right now states with 4% of the Constitution can block any amendment... yet states with 40% can ratify any amendment. I believe this should be done by a popular vote... perhaps 66% supermajority... but done over 2 presidential election cycles.

The ONLY way to guarantee morally legitimate government is if everything is done proportional to population... which means abolishing state suffrage. Vote weighting schemes are ILLEGAL for states and municipalities. They were used in the south to keep whites in power.

This need NOT turn into a tyranny of the majority. The Bill Of Rights proves legitimate rights can be protected constitutionally WITHOUT risking minority government. But if you believe that the weighting votes is the moral way to protect rights... then what's the moral basis for not giving EVERY historically oppressed group a bigger vote? Why are those who choose to live in small states the chosen ones?
