The Electoral College has been the foundation of presidential elections in America since the creation of standard elections in the country. It ensures that all states, large or small, participate in the country's presidential selection process fairly. While the system has been described as archaic, its elimination would redistribute the balance of power to favor highly populated areas and negatively impact millions of Americans living in less populated states.
Consider a system in which the presidential elections are controlled by only a handful of major cities, making rural populations and small populated states almost powerless. The Electoral College prevents this by ensuring candidates to build large national alliances and preserving federalist principles representing American democracy. The Electoral College also promotes stability, prevents recounts on a national level, and guarantees clear election results.
Rather than eliminating a system that has existed for centuries, we need to strengthen and understand its function in protecting equal representation. The Electoral College should not be considered a flaw in American democracy. Instead, it should be seen as a balance.
