2020 Presidential election

The electoral college system ensures that individual states, including smaller states, have an impact on the election of the President and are not just overridden by large states. The creation of states' rights and the decentralization of power among those states is part and parcel to the electoral process that the founders envisioned.

A popular vote removes the power from the states entirely, placing it with the individual citizens. California's citizens don't vote as a block, they vote as individuals. Same for the citizens of Texas, Hawaii, and Wyoming. Far from being nationalized, the power to elect a President is decentralized. Conservative in California now cast votes that matter, as do liberals in Wyoming. The founders also envisioned power being retained by citizens and voters individually.
 
"I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me," he told NBC News in an exclusive interview.
 
In an email to her daughter shortly after the attack, Hillary Clinton blamed it on terrorism. But when I saw

Hillary Clinton at Sean’s coffin ceremony two days later, she looked me squarely in the eye and told me a video was responsible.

You you provide of video of her saying that? In the one you offered, she said something different.
 
Well, the issue is that if the electoral college system is abolished, then states don't mean anything and political power is nationalized.
I have always thought of the president being a representative of the nation.
So it makes sense that the nation should decide on the president rather than a handful of swing States.

Only a handful of swing states, regardless of size, have an impact on the election.

This.
I for one think it would be cool if my vote actually counted.
Weird that some people prefer a system that makes their (and millions of others) vote not count.
