Defend the Electoral College

March 6, 2009 on 12:57 am | In Iowa Political, National Political | No Comments

We hope the measure that would in effect eliminate the Electoral College goes down to defeat in Iowa- and then in every other state where contested. A lot is said about this issue. but the bedrock is that the Electoral College is the only thing that guarantees a voice in the process for rural and less populated states. Without it, candidates need only pander to a handful of urban centers for enough popular vote to win. No small state would be campaigned in- or even matter before or after election day.
