The thing of all this, is the way the process was originally set up has been significantly altered a while ago. Power has been continually shifting to the federal government, and now we get to live to see the reward. The people have no constitutional right to select the president directly. The states individually made this popular vote stuff state law well after 1789, but it should have simply stayed the way it was set up. Let the state legislatures pick the electors and let the electors go decide who the president is. Another big mistake was changing the constitution to make the senator pick by popular vote, big mistake. People would be more inclined to rip out their state government if they screwed up the picks for these, thereby keeping more power concentrated with the states and keeping people focused on state government where the lion’s share of the power was intended to be retained. Even though the state government could be just as corrupt and they could make a bad choice of senators and electors, it would not be illegal. It would also keep power fractured(which is a good thing). And a single corrupt state government having power over just one state is a lot better than an all powerful federal government having unlimited power over all the states. The dumdums that think they know more than the people who bled to form the country is beyond foul and offensive. Too bad it is too late, and all this shit was screwed up. Just like the idea of the federal reserve (which is neither federal nor does it have any reserves) is something that the founders would not have been keen on, if not out right hostile towards.
