- jfengel 6y agoYes, I'm precisely calling the electoral college a bias, and asking the OP to demonstrate why that bias would be better than a more equitable decision making mechanism.

- UncleOxidant 6y ago> It’s part of that unpopular document called the United States Constitution. Which allowed slavery, counted those slaves as 3/5ths of a person for purposes of apportionment in Congress while not allowing those slaves to vote. The electoral college was part of the compromise with the slave states. Also didn't allow women to vote.
