re: The main reason I love Trump more today than a few weeks ago

I was by no means a Hillary supporter and obviously she made critical errors campaigning. That's on her, as she knows damn well how the system works. But see above and last page for my points on the EC. My outlook is different because I don't identify with either party, which I've made clear on this board for years, and I am in full favor of a multi party system. I think there's many pieces to that puzzle, but it starts with eliminating the EC. Again, less than half the states actually use it anyways. It's more for show, because 9/10 an elector is going to swing the way of their voters for obvious reasons. And in so many other states, they are required to by state law. But the 1/10 has cost elections, and I find that a bit disturbing. Talk about opening up pandora's box for corruption. We all remember what may or may not have happened in Florida in 2000 as one glaring example.

I'll ask this and then I'll stop harping on this one example, as long as someone chimes in: if the EC works so well, why do 29 states have it written in law that the EC has to follow the popular vote?
