Lester is basically right, but it's worth noting that the Framers designed the electoral college without anticipating the development of a two-party system, not to mention the ways that American society has changed since 1787. This is speculation, of course, but I suspect that if the Framers could h...

Those are good questions that I don't really have answers to. In a way I don't think it really matters as long as the discussion is confined to assertions of evidence (regardless of whether or not they're accepted) instead of...other things.
