“Fairness” in your way of thinking had to be jettisoned to protect the rights of the minority and the state structure. The world is not fair. I would gladly trade this “fairness” for a stable Republic.
No, the world is not fair. And neither is the reality that the election gets decided by 6-7 states. Nor the reality that residents in some states enjoy more “representation” (based on the impact of their vote) than residents of other states.
The irony is that, even though tyranny of the majority is ostensibly what the EC is supposed to buttress against….the election winner is determined within the EC itself….by the majority.
There’s no debate that it is what it is. But let’s not pretend it has anything to do with fairness.
