If you abolish the EC

17. EC in current form is outdated.

The founders implemented the EC to protect a weaker minority from the majority, as they were afraid of powerful states (at the time) like VA and MA having too much influence. And also to get smaller states to join the Union.

The problem with this is that our world has changed, and many of the most powerless live in and around metro areas, i.e PoC, women, immigrants, poor, gays, etc - i.e. the types of voters who overwhelmingly vote Dem.

Actual human votes should matter more than land, and rural white regions have far more power than they should have, and are what is holding us back from advancing.

The EC is just part of this problem. Congress and especially the senate is also designed in a way to devalue blue votes. Why should large diverse (and wealth producing) states like CA and NY have only two votes in the senate - the same as small red rural states?

To me, the entire system is 'taxation without representation', where blue votes simply don't matter like red votes, who are holding back the country bigly.
