There is justice in the Electoral College our forefathers set up

President-Elect Found Votes Where the Jobs Weren't has a very interesting observation:

Only 472 counties voted for Hillary Clinton on Election Day. But according to Mark Muro of the Brookings Institution, they account for 64 percent of the nation’s economic activity. The 2,584 counties where Mr. Trump won, by contrast, generated only 36 percent of America’s prosperity.

With a rural urban divide such as this, one size fits all federal solutions are problematic. The Electoral College is exposing the rural minority's rights.  The fair thing is for urban States like New York and California to self fund their progressive programs, even fairer is for New York and California to let their metropolitan areas self fund rather than inflicting them on their rural counties. What is clear though is that an election result based on individual votes would make our country even more Washington elites based than it is.
