When Jefferson and his collegues were framing our constitution, certain concessions had to be made in order to appease concerns over the balance of power between large and small states. A bicameral legislature was once compromise as was the electoral college. My Dad always told me the electoral college was important because it gave America's bread basket a voice in elections; because if those low-density states don't have a voice, the high density states won't have food.

I'm just going ape shit over this archaic interpretation, quite simply.
I shall breakdown this shit.
