Tucker: The Electoral College Keeps the Country from Being the Colony of Chicago, New York, and California

EXCERPT:

CARLSON: "In fact, the electoral college does not favor one party or other, and hasn't in history. In 2012, for example, it favored the Democrats. If that election had been tied in the popular vote, Barack Obama still would have won. The electoral college keeps the country from becoming a colony of California, Chicago and New York. it demonstrates that America is a union of equal states, not a collection of provinces that revolve around a few powerful cities. Electoral college also discourages the rise of factional parties that dominate only a small portion of the country. We could go on. But the best argument for keeping electoral college is pretty simple. For 230 years it has worked better than any other country’s systems in history. But because it didn’t help the left win a presidential election two years ago, they want it gone forever. And along with it, any restrictions at all on who can vote. Violent felons, illegal aliens and even children. That's the new Democratic coalition. Whatever it takes."
