No, professor, contrary to your cherished liberal spiel, we live in a Republic ... it could be called a representative democracy, but not a pure democracy. Just as our founding fathers set 2 Senators per state, & based the House on population, the electoral college keeps urban areas from undue domination of the whole country, much of which is still "rural". Our Constitution, including voting regulations, is crafted to prevent undue influence of minorities by the majority.
"an undeserved presidency." ... you say. Had the electoral college gone for HRC, I'm sure you would not complain.
I doubt that Mr.Dr. Haycox teaches objectivity to his unfortunate students, as he characteristically  subjects his readers to his extremely left-biased interpretations.
Wake up, Mr/Dr, the time of unopposed liberal nonsense is changing - the little people are waking up. Hopefully our citizens will come to take a more active part in politics & political discussions.
