It's Emma's World - Episode 18 - Electoral College and How It Protects Us

During the Constitutional Convention the Founding Fathers understood that states like Delaware would not have an equal say and voice in the Presidential Elections based on a popular vote because at the time places like NYC and Philadelphia had more population than the smallest state in the union; so candidates would tailor their campaigns around these areas and their interests, neglecting states like Delaware and Rhode Island. The solution - The Electoral College. In 2016 President Trump won the election by the Electoral College and not the popular vote. The liberals have cried to abolish the Electoral College because their voice was not heard and it "silenced them"... WRONG! If you understand how the Electoral College works you will realize that is a bold faced lie by people who were shocked and upset. The Electoral College did it's job, it gave places like Iowa, Montana, Delaware and other small states and equal chance to be heard, force the Candidates to listen and chose the President. CA allows illegal and documented aliens here in the US the ability to vote, that only hurts CA and not the other 49 states who's voice would not be drowned out by people who are not citizens thanks in part to CA, it also allowed the popular vote to sway towards Hillary Clinton.
