Pathetic case for eliminating College

On Sept. 17, I read one of your most bias and quite frankly pathetic arguments for eliminating the electoral college.

Your selective use of "historians" to show that it was formed to protect slave states is vague. Really? Why did you leave out the historical and documented arguments of Rhode Island, Maryland, Connecticut and New Hampshire? Are they are part of your "slave states?

Also, by your point of view, you are advocating that the President of the United States should be forever voted in by Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx. Plain and simple. Show those facts on the popular votes in those four boroughs that demonstrate the facts. Check it for the last 30 years to be relevant and show to the public the facts.

When you use selective information, you continue to demonstrate the documented liberal bias of the media. You show six people on your board to print your viewpoint. If you really wanted to demonstrate your credibility, you should publicly show a percentage of your members who voted for what party over the last three or four Presidential elections. If you did that, your readers could understand you are most likely presenting from the Democratic party point of view, which is fine. Just print it. If not, your credibility remains poor.
