Because, believe it or not, keeping Hillary from winning is not why the Electoral College exists.
One of the reasons the United States has been the breadbasket of the world is because our government has HAD to account for the interests of underpopulated agrarian areas that otherwise would be ignored because they wouldn’t get ELECTED otherwise. So we take care of our farmers.
Our farmers are not taken care of by their senators and congresspeople so they need to be artificially weighed in favor of when it comes to the chief executive? I’m sorry, that’s just silly.
You’re right. We don’t agree. I don’t think giving a farmer a vote more powerful than a city dweller’s when it comes to who should run the entire nation is ludicrous. Making up for a state’s small population is what the senate is for.
Everyone’s vote for president should be counted equally.

Funny the way that works, isn’t it?

No it’s not. Sorry, you and I do not agree.
