Re: AOC calls the Electoral College a raciast scam

It was established due to their understanding of the relationship between the Federal government and the states.

Strictly speaking, YOU do not have the right to vote for president. it is not something guaranteed to you. It's a right of the states as bodies politic.


Popular elections for president were not automatically instituted. Hell, in South Carolina, the electors were picked by the state legislature all the way to the Civil War. Even in New York, the privilege wasn't granted to the people until 1828.
