How the Electoral College Affects Our Presidential Elections

Hillsdale College, a supposed institution of learning, asks if the electoral college helps or hinders our voting process.

Its only effect is that it’s great in terms of shifting the impact of votes from populous states like New York and California to those like Wyoming and the Dakotas.

Voters in these latter states are ~4 times more influential than the former in determining the outcome of our presidential elections.

If you’re an ultra-right-winger and you don’t believe in “one person one vote,” this is a great instrument in bringing your wishes to fruition.
