I keep hearing politicians and pundits say Donald Trump should be on the ballot so the people can decide and not the courts. I might agree with that if the people would actually be the ones making the decision who should be in the Oval Office. The people don’t make that decision. Why? The 2016 election said Clinton won by 2,868.686 votes but Trump was declared the winner by the Electoral College.

Another was Al Gore and George Bush. The Supreme Court stopped the counting of votes in Florida so the State went into Bush’s Electoral side giving him the win by five vote. Gore won the popular vote with 543,895 more votes.

When people say let the voters decide, apparently those two elections were not decided by the people. The Founders in 1787 decided the people weren’t smart enough to decide so they setup a system where “smart” people could make the decision for their “dumb” fellow citizens. Their intelligence was shown to be faulty when they declared the one with the second number of electoral votes would be the Vice-President!
