Your quibbling is pointless. Lincoln is dead, should we reinstate slavery? Johnson is dead, should we repeal the Civil Rights act? Truman is dead, should we segregate the military services? Roosevelt is dead, should we take away Social Security? Is anyone alive who voted for women's suffrage?

At this point, the push to render the Electoral College vote meaningless has more supporters than ever before. In 1789 there was almost no informed electorate, and a minority of citizens (if you include slaves) had the vote. Electoral College members have little discretion in applying their so-called "superior wisdom". At this point, only the Republican National Committee supports these awful EC scandals, the latest of which may be truly disastrous for our nation.
