Her lawyer, who works for the Trump-aligned America First Policy Institute, argued that individual board members can vote against certifying or decline to certify certain buckets of votes as long as the board as a whole still moves to certify votes that are “correct.”

Even the people who think it’s a good idea have a difficult time explaining why we should have an electoral college for choosing a President and not, say, a governor.
If the idea is that people who live in sparsely populated areas need to have more protection from the tyranny of densely-populated areas, then why not make the votes of people who live in rural counties count more than the votes of people in big cities?
