In actuality this is not what the founding fathers saw as the reason for the e*******l college, not at all, you are reading too much of current situation into what it was about back then. It was about giving an offset that benefited those who controlled government, so as not to lose that control to people who couldn't be trusted to control government. There were those among the founding fathers that didn't believe that people were smart enough to have control of what the government did. It was a safety designed to maintain control.

What isn't working as any founder intended is states that have less than 50% of the registered v**ers yet that minority has majorities and even super majorities that control their government and allow them to openly rig e******ns in a dozen ways. People, if their voice has any controlling interest will not allow their v**e to be negated or suppressed.

The right wants to call suppression all about preventing fraud, I entirely agree with v**er ID. The reality is that suppression doesn't do anything about people who are not eligible to v**e from not v****g. It is intentionally designed to keep the eligible from v****g, it's about making it harder for people who are eligible to v**e from v****g.

Statistically speaking, a state's government has to be an accurately represented reflection of the whole population, not a minority that has used power to rig the process so as to maintain control. We can't have majorities that are unsatisfied with a minority that tells them what they can or can't do. The majority will get fed up and win in the end one way or another. On the flip side, a minority of people who loses control to a majority is the natural order of things, minorities do not get to tell the majority of the people what they can and can't do.
