Impossible to understand where Anuzis is coming from on this challenge to bedrock Constitutional principles. The article linked to is foolish and the author of it is either a Democrat or not very knowledgable. His comments on the Founders wanting to veto popular votes or not trust the masses is wrong and offensive. 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. . 

It is Democrats who 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.
