Seemingly lost in the shuffle today was the Cohen search warrant being released with the entire section on "The Illegal Campaign Contribution Scheme" redacted over 19 pages.
I used to like the idea of the Popular Vote, but now realize the Electoral College is far better for the U.S.A.

I'm sure that there are good arguments to abolish the Electoral College. So why do people use the dopey one? The circular reasoning one. Or begging the question? Or whatever the right word is. Actually I don't care if people use it. I only care that twoplustwoers do. That's not allowed.
If you said that the Electoral college is bad because it is immoral to have a system where the popular vote winner doesn't win, that's perfectly fine. But instead nitwits proclaim that "the clearest argument that the Electoral College should be abolished is that it sometimes results in a winner that didn't get the most popular votes". What? Of course it does, That is its reason for existence. It exists to CREATE that possibility. The talking heads argument boils down to "We shouldn't have a method that was designed to sometimes elect the popular vote loser because it sometimes elects the popular vote loser". Aristotle is turning over in his grave.
