The Electoral College

Me, I do not understand why cows should get to vote. I DO understand the tyranny of the majority and I also understand that gerrymandering is a bitch, it is real, and the GOP is better at it than democrats.

My counter to that is WITH the Electoral College, three swing states decide all the election outcomes. 

That assumes there's any validity to the nightmare scenario of hive-minded city voters all marching in lockstep formation to the polls in come vague, nefarious plot to oppress the farmers in middle America.
