Welshman,
Good series of articles. The Electoral College is, of course, one of the bullwarks of our system. Without it, the Presidency would likely become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat party. It has been estimated that without it, a mere 5 or 6 cities could select the President of the United States. But the Electoral College with its winner-takes-all aspect forces candidates for the office to campaign in every state in order to garner a majority of Electoral votes. It is a very wise provision of the Constitution, and we look to change it at our peril.

Agreed...and thanks.
