An idea put in place to prevent one city, region, or demography from deciding who the next president is. The main goal is to force a presidential candidate to have to win over voters all across the country. Although it doesnt always work, it often times prevents what happens in New York state, from happening on a larger scale. Even though New York state is relatively half and half on the political spectrum, every election New York state ends up being won for the democrats because New York City is about 70% liberal and contains about half of the state's population.
Without the Electoral college, what happens almost every election in New York state could happen to the whole country, where the interests of one region determine the effects on the whole country

Get the Electric donkey punch mug.An alcoholic concoction of beer, vodka, and lemmonade concentrate. In a large cooler combine a 30 pack of beer (Miller HighLife works well as it has no taste), a one liter bottle of vodka (don't go too cheep, I recomend Smirnoff or Iceburg), and 5 cans of lemmonade concentrate (under no circumstances should u use any other brand other than minute maid brand or your batch will taste like absolute shit). dump all this shit into a large cooler, stir it up, dump in a couple bags of ice and enjoy.
