re: #29 wheat-dogghazi-mailgate

I see there is a petition going around telling the Electoral College to abide by the popular vote and choose Clinton over Trump. The EC has never reversed the EV majority, AFAIK, and doing so now would probably engulf the country in open rebellion by Trumpistas.

I know it wont happen, but…

This is *exactly* the reason for the Electoral College. To save us from ourselves when we make a really bad call.

This is why my ass itches every time I see someone ask why we have it or advocates getting rid of it.
