If you fear for our nation over anarchist groups like the Black Panthers and Black Lives Matter, you ain't seen nothing yet if the Electoral College goes against their purpose.
I see the Electoral College the same way I do term limits. The College balances the regions of the nation, so we can not be oppressed by popular vote. It is well known who would rule the nation if it weren't for the College. Our Legislative Branch is wisely split between one house that equally represents each state and one house that equally represents each citizen. We have term limits that are called elections. However, how do we answer situations like Feinstein, Pelosi, Kennedy, etc. who are extreme, represent a strong extreme group, and serve for decades? What is the fair way to balance these people?
As painful as it is to live with and even say this, I believe that what our Founding Fathers set up has and is working. To undo things over knee jerk emotions would do more harm than good in the future. As is being said all over the book of faces: "I survived Obama - You will survive Trump!"
