✔️ Via Lawrence O'Donnell:
Imagine where this country would be today without the anti-democratic institution of the #ElectoralCollege which no democracy born after ours has copied.
#Trump never would’ve seen a classified document were it not for the Electoral College.

The anti-democratic institution of the Electoral College pales in significance compared to the anti-democratic institution of the US Senate.
True that … and its anti democratic effect is increased exponentially because it makes the already undemocratic electoral college even more undemocratic, because the number of electors allotted each state is equal to its number of Representatives (based on population) PLUS its number of Senators, which for every state regardless of population is two. Our only hope is for a migration of Democratic voters to toss-up states. #bluemigration
I have some hopes for the National Populaar Vote Interstate Compact:

However, that is not a slam dunk.
