    The electoral college and the senate (as it functions now) exists to give slave states more power so that they’d agree to ratify the constitution with the expectation that they can use it to protect the institution of slavery. It is a carry over protection of slavery that we somehow didn’t fix after we fought a war over the bullshit they were doing. It never should have existed, but it definitely shouldn’t now.
