Ted, so now the LA Times equates the Electoral College with slavery and disenfranchisement of women. And it's all because some states wanted to count people who couldn't vote, such as slaves and women, just to inflate their influence in picking presidents.

Since blacks and women can now vote, I figure that argument is moot, but that's not going to stop the LA Times from using faulty logic to come to a ridiculous conclusion. The only reason now to get rid of the Electoral College is that it's rather archaic, but that's a far cry from saying it "votes against equality."

Slick push piece, however, from the liberal media.
