No name racists on the internet vs former (and potential future) POTUS... Yeah you're right, it's tough to tell who is more responsible for spreading this particular bit of misinformation.
All progress is good progress and all that but... if this is the strongest rebuke the world can muster then we're completely fucked
Reproduction is as basic an instinct as it gets. Humans are not robots. Rationality does not win out against instinct the vast majority of the time.
If I've learned anything from the Trump years it's that it does not matter what is obvious, it only matters what the courts will act on. Once those votes are tallied and the final results are submitted the outcome isn't changing, especially if the manipulation benefits conservatives. And let's be real, that's the only scenario in which this has a realistic chance of happening.
The electoral college is ass but getting rid of it would actually make the specific problem you're describing worse. If the election were decided by popular vote then the margins change but so do the attack vectors. Now instead of being forced to successfully change votes in multiple locations in multiple swing states you can potentially alter the outcome by changing the tallies in one highly populated county. Doing something like that once is a lot easier than doing it 8 times simultaneously.
I still think getting rid of the EC is a good idea but we should make sure we fully understand what that means.
Alternatively, "there's too much color in this neighborhood". Those racist pricks. It's about time we exposed birds for their bigotry.
