Don’t you take it as “self-evident” that all your people are created
equal? If so, why shouldn’t their votes count equally too?

 
You're asking a lot of these people, if you saw the J6 committee
hearings, you know that a uniformed, black Capitol police offer was
called the N- word by a rioter, because he said he voted for Pres.
Biden.  This is the kind of lunacy the rural redneck voters display.

It seems to me, that would have been less of a problem if in fact every
vote counted equally. Because such vile bigots are always going to be in
the minority. It is the Electoral College that magnifies the importance of
votes such as theirs beyond their rightful value.

It seems to me you're a crank who just can't shut the hell up when you're
clueless. The Electoral College is how we do it in the U.S. Get over
yourself and mind your own business.
