One of primary reasons the framers wanted electors in the Electoral College, was to prevent a misinformed and easily manipulated public from choosing a demagogue and/or foreign-backed traitor.

The electors, Hamilton believed, would prevent someone with "talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity" from becoming president. And, they would counter "the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendent in our councils."

In the case of Trump, the EC failed to prevent both, and actually enabled a traitorous demagogue to improperly ascend to head our councils.

Rural areas are already over-represented in the Senate. Get rid of the antiquated EC.
