Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren has a brilliant idea. We should get rid of the Electoral College.
Warren made the statement on CNN, claiming that “Every vote matters” and that candidates would have to campaign more in states that weren’t “battleground states” if there was no Electoral College.
Warren ignored the fact that getting rid of the Electoral College would cause a vast over-representation of people living in heavily populated areas, like cities, whose opinions would overshadow those living in small towns or rural areas and that candidates would likely only campaign in these areas.
The elimination of the Electoral College would definitely benefit Democrats, though, who rely on states with huge populations, like California, for their victories.
