1. New Mexico’s law isn’t repealing the EC. They are more or less circumventing it by giving their EC votes to the popular winner.

2. The constitution AS IS allows states to decide how their electors vote. No real rules there.

3. There wasn’t a crisis when half the states switched to popular votes to decide who their EC votes would go to. that’s not in the constitution. And somehow we survived.

4. Didn’t vote for Hillary, you fricking mouthbreather. Trump won. I don’t give 2 fricks about Russian Facebook pages. Just objectively the EC doesn’t make sense anymore.

5. You wouldn’t give 2 fricks about this if Trump won the popular vote. I also Think he will get an incumbent bump and win the popular vote in 2020.

Yes it does...

We don't want sweeping laws approved by collectivist city dwellers.
Plus, I like living in a republic, democracy gives power to the lazy masses, and eventually Soviets, Venezuelas, or whatever other tin-horn cap on it occurs.

That's my subjective opinion...just as your opinion of "doesn't make sense" is subjective.

Without the EC, eight cities would control the county. The interests of someone in NYC are not the same as someone in Des Moines. The EC allows that someone in Des Moines to cast a vote that actually means something.
