I'm surprised the article doesn't cover the issue of "mob rule" as a negative thing that the founders intended to avoid. Leaving the whole country to be ran by some coastal/leftist states and forever disregarding the rest of the country doesn't quite seem like a fair alternative to the electoral college method. As-is, we have a mix of candidates from both major parties that wind up winning. Do we really want one-party rule?
