re: #42 freetoken

I thought the electoral college exists so slave-holding sountern states wouldn’t be overwhelmed by votes from the populated NE, as the southern black male population was only 3/5ths of a person.

Nope. The Connecticut Compromise (the Electoral College) exists to protect small population states like Connecticut and Delaware (at the time), not slave states. Slave states were protected by the Three-Fifths Compromise, which counted a slave as three-fifths of a person for a vote.
