For Electoral College

The Electoral College in our Constitution, Article 2, Section 1. We voters need to be informed why it exists and why it is still necessary. It gives the smaller and/or less populated states a fair representation when voting for our president and vice president. It makes it harder to steal an election. It encourages the candidates to campaign nationally, in order to win every state, not just the heavily populated states. It protects Americans from the tyranny of the majority.

Our Founding Fathers were far more than what the word politician may bring to mind today. These were men of integrity. Men who were wise because they were God fearing. Men who were willing to sacrifice their all in order to birth this great nation.

Please take time to read a concise explanation of the Electoral College. It can be found at PragerU.com. Electoral College expert Tara Ross presents a five minute video explanation titled “The Electoral College and Why It Matters.” Also, you will find another video, “Popular Vote vs. Electoral College,” plus other videos, all free.

And, please read the current platform of your chosen party. They do change, sometimes drastically.
