When (R)s use the "don't let liberal-leaning population centers decide an election" argument

6. That Argument Doesn't Even Make Sense To Begin With.

That argument is BS to begin with. At present the GOP is only against getting rid of the Electoral College because they've lost the popular vote in the last seven Presidential elections. If the situation were reversed, they'd be screaming to get rid of it.

But the Electoral College has NOTHING to do with giving more power to low-population states. The SENATE does that. So, I could see them kicking up a fuss is somebody was suggesting getting rid of the Senate.

But the Electoral College votes are apportioned to the States according to population. So, how does it favor small states? It doesn't. It only favors States where the vote is CLOSE. It forces the parties to spend all their resources in about 10 swing states, while ignoring 40 other states where the vote is NOT close. And is has NOTHING to do with being a big state or a small one.
