I'd guess it's because far wealthier people need them.  They are the gate-keepers, even to the uber-wealthy.

2024 National: Trump vs. Harris | RealClearPolling

I read that the various polls out there "adjusted" their tactics after undercounting Trump votes.  I wonder if they "adjusted" too far.

Harris winning the Electoral College wouldn't make it any more democratic (msnbc.com)

I guess I don't see the point of such editorials (beyond attracting readers who head nod).  I don't see any realistic chance the EC will be abandoned.  Whether we should or not is basically immaterial.

There is an effort among some states to circumvent it, which is rather interesting, but possibly not "legal" (or possibly it is).  One can rail on about the EC all day, but it's not going to be changed by any amendment or other tactic (in the next few decades anyway).  There are some arguments for keeping it of course.  I suspect if Republicans started losing in the EC but winning in the PV often, the opinions might magically shift.

If you went by the polls, Trump lost in 2016.

There was ineffective, insufficient polling in various states in 2016.  I view polls as a kind of window into likelihoods of an outcome, they usually are about right, but folks overlook that margin of error component.  We're seeing a lot more polling today in BG states, but I do wonder about their methodology today.

He was present legally, yes, but not allowed to work, apparently, and it is claimed that he did work.  Of course in this political season I don't trust all these reports, they could be correct.

Oddly enough, once a person crosses the border, just being here is not in itself illegal.  It's akin to speeding for a bit, and then slowing down, you are not longer breaking any law.  You were in the past, but not now.

of course he doesn't. Democratic party entire MO is to open the flood gates for illegal aliens with zero vetting not knowing who the fuck is coming into the country and then give said illegals amnesty and fast track pathways to citizenship and move them to swing states so they'll never lose elections again.

The Democratic party is literally the enemy of the state and of the citizens of the United States of America. They are for unlimited illegal immigration, they are for censorship and control of the internet, they are for gun control, they are bootlickers for the expansion of the security state and suppression of civil rights, they are for endless wars and foreign intervention, they are for Wall Street/Big Pharma and the corporate capture of the regulatory agencies, they are for "free trade agreements" which aren't actually free trade agreements but rather investors rights agreements, they are for "defunding the police", they are for LBGTQRETARD+ bullshit- tranny-time story hour, biological men who cut their dicks off playing women in sports, tampons in mens bathrooms, men can get pregnant, there are unlimited genders- all that nonsense. They are for "safe spaces" and "words are violence!" whatever he fuck that bullshit means. They are basically for everything that is wrong in America.

Congrats on being an absolute fucking retard if you vote Democrat!
