Through our Constitution, the Founders formed a republic form of government, not a democracy where all elections except President/VP, votes are determined strictly on popularity (votes cast). In the top national election, the use of the Electoral College is to balance the national needs of maintaining a republic (now, of 50 states) so that we elect a national leader. The matter of balancing the republic, makes sure that no one issue/place/group/etc dominates to the exclusion of other aspects necessary to maintain a nation of 'out of many, one' (people and states). The result of the Civil War and our entire history as one nation would have very different if it weren't for these bedrock principles. Democrats will want to switch so that an alliance of the mega cities can overwhelm and dominate every other need and interest in the rest of the United States.<br />
