I’m one of those who definitely has gone from the “ban the electoral college” side to the “keep it” side.
If the federal government were as limited as it ought to be, I wouldn’t really care. But with the federal government having a mandate to do just about whatever it wants now, it’s extremely important that the entire country not be run by a handful of urban centers.

I can tell you I have learned a lot from this thread. I have never studied politics, other than what benefits me and my family. I am learning a ton in the way of the history of this country. I need to find some really good books on the subject.
