'"They knew very well the DANGERS of using the 'Popular Vote' principle" Or not. Here's a different opinion: "The Electoral College was slapped together by the drafters of the Constitutions in 1789 as a sop to the smaller states, giving them some incentive to ratify the document. But that was an era when there was no popular vote for the election of presidents. The idea that the Electoral College would evolve into a sort of a stand-in for the popular vote would have shocked James Madison and the other drafters" huffingtonpost.com "As things currently stand the more populated East and West coasts would hold sway while Middle America would end up 'sucking the hind tit'" Only in presidential elections. Middle America can control the legislative process with 41 senators, something else the founders prolly didn't intend.
