You could believe that the Senate is a fine implementation of it's goals (to protect inhabitants of smaller states from the tyranny of the majority, or whatever) while also believing that the electoral college is a failure that just adds noise to the popular vote.

Not saying that's precisely my position...

The EC has the same goal. You either believe in the goal or you don't.

I feel like you didn't read and try to understand my last comment. You're certainly not pointing out any flaws in its logic.

The EC "adds noise the the popular vote" in the same way the senate adds noise to the legislative will of the population.

In one hand you say it's a bad thing, on the other its OK. It's not logical and the only way I can explain it is being sore losers of the last election.

I keep hearing how Trump is going to destroy our Constitution, but I also keep hearing from leftist how we need to change the first amendment, the second amendment, and the EC.
