I want to preface my following words by stating clearly and definitively that I accept the results of the election. Donald Trump, as much as it shakes me to my core to say it, is my president, and he won that title through a legitimate election as held through our currently constructed electoral system. He won, fair and square.
With that out of the way, let’s talk about the electoral college. I realize that it seems awfully convenient to start criticizing our electoral mechanisms after an election doesn’t go your way.
