Safeguards of the Electoral College
The disingenuous and dishonest arguments for the national popular vote should not even be something we need to consider.
First look at the numbers. If the United States of America were in a one-world government and each person could vote and there were no worldwide electoral college, China at 1.44 billion and India at 1.38 billion would run the show, as the USA has only 331 million.
That is the same logic that needs to be applied to the Electoral College. Do you want New York, California, and a couple of other eastern states dictating all that goes on in the United States? The founding documents had a real purpose. New York is not the same as Nebraska; Pennsylvania is not the same as Montana; and so forth. The Electoral College serves the purpose of balancing out the states and their sometimes significant differences.
