A friend and I were talking about the electoral college before the election and he brought up an excellent point. The electoral college LIMITS the effects any one corrupt state could have on the ONE national election - US President (and VP).
So...if it ends up that all 12 million people in Illinois vote for the Democrat candidate (or even if they dig up 15 million votes), the state can only cast a limited number of electoral votes.
Maybe I've been living under a rock, but I had never heard this reason before and I thought I'd share it as the post-election 'Red vs. Blue' discussions pop up with your compatriots.
Man -- those Founding Father guys were smart.
