First and foremost we are a republic and different political positions represent different institutions and people in a republic. The people have direct representation on the local, state and federal levels in the form of representatives. The state used to be represented in the federal government they created through the appointment of senators (the 17th amendment changed that). As a governor of a state represents all the counties of the state, the president represents all of the states in the United States of America. As such the founders thought it wise and prudent that the president was not exposed to a national popular vote for fear of the mob mentality that often happens in a democracy. Instead they set up the electoral college so candidates for president had to go through all the states and achieve the majority of the electoral votes to becomes president.
Being a republic this is the best way to make sure all states have a say in who becomes president, and not allow the mob to sway the American voters with fear and intimidation, which we see happening on the left today after the 2016 presidential election went to Donald Trump!!!
In a republic the election process also has checks and balances, and may it always be that way!!!
Daily Bible reading: Neh 2:4-5 Then the king said to me, “What do you request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven. 5 And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.”
Quotemeal: “Our prayers are answered not when we are given what we ask but when we are challenged to be what we can be.” — Morris Alder
