Account Deleted By User The endless attacks on the Electoral College proves the absolutely stupidity of the complainers. Of course the popular vote is irrelevant to chusing the U.S.A.'s chief exectuive officer. The U.S.A. is a federation of equally sovereign STATES. The U.S.A. has but fifty "members" Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, etc etc etc. If people had direct interest in the U.S.A. it would be called the United PEOPLE of America. But people have no direct interest in the American federation thus we have the Electoral College and the United STATES of America.
